Huxley's use of dialog allows the reader to learn a lot of 'back story' on this new world and the way people interact with one another. Without having to 'tell' what that world is like, he 'shows' how it is by the way the people react to various discussions (mothers for example). The main idea is that there has been a terrible cost for 'stability' and 'order' in this world. Individuality and creativity have been lost....and in the end a good deal of humanity.
