Nobody here seems to have understood Brave New World so I’ll explain the themes to you OP.

The main theme is of course the danger of a mass humanity created and designed in the same style of our mass manufactured goods. Hence the references to Henry Ford. Of course the technology is only one side of the problem as the other highlighted theme is of course the inability of utilitarian and materialistic philosophy to fulfill the higher aspirations of man for transcendence and purpose.

Important sub points are obviously the isolation of those who think different. The nature of sex and human pair bonding. The perverse nature of insecurity and jealousy. Finally there is a funny maybe not intentional point about women being totally incapable of being independent of society.
