It will be interesting to see if he stays true to the novel - from The Hollywood Reporter:
Steven Spielberg's Amblin, Syfy Adapting Classic Novel 'Brave New World' (Exclusive)
Steven Spielberg's Amblin Television is adapting Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World as a scripted series for the NBCUniversal-owned cable network, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Brave New World — ranked fifth among the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th Century by Modern Library — is set in a world without poverty, war or disease. Humans are given mind-altering drugs, free sex and rampant consumerism are the order of the day, and people no longer reproduce but are genetically engineered in "hatcheries." Those who won’t conform are forced onto "reservations," until one of the "savages" challenges the system, threatening the entire social order.
Powerful stuff - it will be interesting to see what Amblin does with it. Lots of parallels to today's society.
Just to remember, Brave New World was published as a warning, not an operating manual...
