All in all, I see it as an exhibit of the worst elements of modern American social liberalism taken to the extreme. Now I realize there are pieces of the Brave New World that don’t completely fit that theme, mainly the castes, but all in all, I think it is a great dystopia for the future of the US to try and avoid.

The castes are there in part because the Huxley missed the potential that non-sentient automation would have.  He wasn't alone in it.  For example, Clarke is famous for having predicted geosynchronous communication satellites in 1945, but he thought that they would have to be manned satellites.
