Huxley's brother Julian was President of the British Eugenics Society & director of UNESCO and led based on premise that 'lowest class in society is genetically inferior". Aldous' novel Brave New World (1932) was a satire of his brother's genetically superior future, with Lord replaced by (Henry) Ford (incidentely, IRL Ford logo now has always had an "L" incorporated into its logo); Disney's version employs Harrison Ford as president, who presents Adamantium/Soma.. Are there other parallels? Pray tell!
