Brave New World: Profound?

I have been given a English task to write a feature article on the importance of Alduous Huxley's "Brave New World" in current society. The majority of my cl is heading for the pro's within the book, such as the similarities of , technology and diplomacy inherent in both Huxley's time and our own. However, my personal opinion is that Huxley has used such rediculous and obsurd overexagerations to get his points across. Consquently, the theme of his novel is so remote that people seem to find it easy to set aside this drastic scenario he has created, and link our world to his "Brave New World', in an attempt to satisfy their own conclusions Huxley has created. Perhaps I'm not being clear enough. My main point is that, I believe Huxley has created a world far from pure reason, which should not ever been considered seriously, and is something far from a future of our own. Please I would love some of your thoughts on this, because I am being different in the cl, its difficult to discuss ideas, so I'm relying on as many Yahoo'ers ideas :) Thank you very much.
