It's a new design of escalator that allows for curves. It is not a sure-fire harbinger of Brave New World. I don't understand how you would go from one to the other.
I do see a problem with this design, though; if one part of the system fails, then both the up and down sections of the escalator stop working.
Or, rather, they become stairs. So not that much of a problem.

Wonderful. They've combined the escalator with that dystopian icon, the moving sidewalk.
