classic!

Not the easiest read to devour due to its, albeit highly successful, writing style. The scholarly vocabulary of BRAVE NEW WORLD by Aldous Huxley and the initial movie-esque cutting between different scenes enfolding require a slightly higher degree of concentration than with a typical narrative. Once you take the responsibilty of reading this book for what it is, the storyworld is engrossing, and the narrative purely psychotic, with everything being upside down.Remember the party propaganda of 1984, with sayings like, "War is peace," and take another look at Brave New World. The obvious contradictions have now been instilled in humans as infallible truths from birth through dream therapy, shock therapy, and other kinds of neo-Pavlovian experiments as well as caste-creating breeding and stress and chemical modification schemes. Corpsy women are propagated as desireable with as a hidden motto that if it's easier for men to stick it to a corpsy than to one that's fresh, then go for the corpsy delight. Everything in this world is nasty, with the meaning of nasty and clean having been reversed through some kind of cultural predestination scheme. What's nasty for "society" is clean for the savages and vice versa. Either of them function on a lower level than humanity could.As infallible as the new truths have been instilled in humans, as contradictive they feel to those that for any reason of their own choose not to take the government drugs. Even those that take the drugs can be frank about their dislike at times, scaring others not for their own well-being but for that of their friends. As much as the caste system and the drugs and hypnopaedic therapy mean to eradicate all feeling, the foundation for all being being feeling itself means that even at the peak of self-domestication, there's a very strong urge to break free for those that have the slightest irregularity to their behaviors, stepping away from the state machine mindset that most have developed.That little lack of indifference, the tiniest of questions that drive the bigger questions of freedom and identity, are what drive the pivotal characters in Brave New World. What will it take for the little ripples to grow into a wave without the water immediately being dammed? Once we've reached the point of complete self-domestication, is there such a thing as a point of no return? Great story that on the surface leaves no way out.
