How is Brave New World a satire?

Brave New World is a satire because it is today's society, backwards. Sex is glorified and celebrated, and monogamy, where in today's society is seen as the "best" way, is laughed at and tossed aside. Another satire in the book is the class and race system being simplified into colors of clothes, ("I hate khaki"), I personally think that this is hilarious, simplifying it so a moron can understand it. Another satire is the use of drugs. Throughout the book the characters indulger (or over-indulge) in the taking of "soma", which takes them on a relaxing high of some sort that is referred to as a "soma holiday". This is satire because in today's society drug use is strongly frowned upon, wherein Brave New World, not using the drug is frowned upon and considered not "normal". Yet another satirical bit in Brave New World is the people that live on the reservation in New Mexico, and how they do things much in the way that we do today, and they are referred to as "savages" and primitive beings. One of the things that disgusts people of the New World the most is natural child birth, opposed to the popular "jar birth" of the New World. Those are four of the biggest satires on modern society in the book. Everything is backwards.
