That’s the one I noticed too! I spent way too long wracking my brain trying to find a single similarity between The Matrix and any of those books, and literally all I can think of is that in Brave New World people are born in test tubes and also in The Matrix people are born in little pod things.
But like, that’s the only similarity I could find, at all! I feel like I must be missing something, because surely there’s at least one other passing similarity somewhere, these stories are all dystopian fiction, after all. Like, statistically there must be other similarities, but I sure can’t think of any!
Matrix is about people angry about living in an illusory paradise brought to you by the machines, so they go underground. brave new world is about people angry about an illusory paradise brought to you by drugs, so they go to mexico.
I would put brave new world as the subset, since it adds the idea of eugenics(so I guess in the intersection with gataca) and production of people as commodities, I don’t know we’re that fits.
