These issues include extinction of animal, creation of robots, and environmental concerns. Extinction of animals is greatly emphasized in Brave New World as all the animals apparent to the viewer are artificial. It tells the audience today, we should also take better care to keep the environment safe if the world in Blade Runner is not the future we hope for. The world in Blade Runner is characterised by consumerism and industrialism. It shows the viewer what a great impact industrialism can have on the environment. Therefore, Blade Runner simply serves as a warning and not a prediction of what could possibly happen.
As Brave New World was written in 1931, the context surrounding the novel differed greatly from Blade Runner. Brave New World was significantly impacted by the First World War and the world desire to achieve stability and peace. The League of Nations, represented by the government, was created to accomplish international co-operation and stability. Huxley visualised the League of Nations gradually becoming the World State as in Brave New World. The rise of dictatorship in many countries also caused people to aspire stability. The world saw the beginning of rapid industrialisation, consumerism, mass production, and technological advancements. The Great Depression of 1929 also impacted upon the issue examine by Huxley. The depression saw the economy collapse around the world and the need to regulate the supply and demand was apparent hence achieving stability in the economy.
Many futuristic routines predicted by Huxley have been achieved by the beginning of the twenty-first century. Although science and technology have brought benefits to humans and improved the quality of life, they are still a threat is prediction comes true. Huxley predicted the creation of embryos in test tubes which is becoming more and more apparent in the world today. Through the increasing advancement in science and technology, couples today are able to produce babies called "designer babies", which means that they are able to choose the physical characteristics of the babies and well as able to remove any genetic disease.
