Is the utopian experiment bringing the Savage to 'utopia'?
Can anyone tell me more about this please??

Not really... Huxley created both world's to be dystopia's. Neither world is perfect, so basically its like removing one human being adapted for living by one set of rules and expecting him to live in a way that contradicts everything he believes. Not a good idea.

You can say its an experiment, but you cant say its utopian because neither place is. And if I remember correctly, John wanted to go to meet his father and see the world his mother loved so much, so it wasnt like he was forced to go. But when he got there they started experimenting.

I haven't used/heard the term 'utopian experiment' in relation to BNW before, but I'd guess it's the whole society. Wilmo's obviously right, it's ultimately dystopian not utopian-- but the dystopia is achieved by 'experimenting' with the creation of an ideal society (according to social trends of the time) and thus exposing what a fallacy it is.
