Final BNW Post

One question that I had while finishing Brave New World, was why did Huxley not allow John to live? He could have lived peacefully out in the hills unnoticed, but instead he was exploited by the media and crowds came all the way from London to jeer and taunt at him. Another question that I had was why Huxley decided for the eccentric people of the society to be sent away to islands instead of killed. It seems like it would make more sense to remove them forever. With regards to 1984, I had wondered why technology had come so much further in Brave New World when the revolution that brought it into being happened much earlier than in 1984? Wouldn't the technology of Oceania be far more advanced?
