Dystopian novels are more relevant than ever, but unfortunately I found Brave New World to be outdated and disorganized with no compelling characters and a haphazard storyline. OprahDaily.com states that the best dystopia novels offer both escapism and "a resistance blueprint for when things go sideways." For me personally, Brave New World didn't provide either escape or guidance. I'm seeking a fresh vision. I'd appreciate your input. What's your favorite book about the world gone wrong?This is ...

"Libero come un uccello"
Insieme a "1984" di George Orwell e "Fahrenheit 451" di Ray Bradbury, "Il mondo nuovo" forma La trilogia della letteratura distopica per eccellenza. Ognuno dei 3 libri descrive, come un mondo governato da un potere assoluto e totalitario non sia conveniente, anzi che mina l'individualità personale.Scritto anni prima dei 2 sopracitati, "Il mondo nuovo" delinea un futuro che, nel 2011 anno della mia lettura, le profezie e le previsioni di Huxley non sono lontanissime da...

Si supponga per assurdo che... ... in un futuro imprecisato si costituisca una società in cui:- sia deprecato avere rapporti monogami- l'uomo si riproduca attraverso la manipolazione genetica, e sempre per il tramite di essa si decida a priori la classe di appartenenza dell'essere così generato- non esistano i sentimenti, i legami, ma uno stato di tranquillità perenne indotto dalla soddisfazione degli istinti primari- si faccia uso legale di una droga, 'soma', per il cui tramite la tristezza o l...

1984 by Orwell was the first work of dystopian fiction that I laid my hands on. It left me so numb that I couldn't gather my thoughts on the experience of reading it. Then I read Brave New World by Huxley and then We by Zamyatin followed by the little story (The New Utopia) by Jerome. BNW inspired me to read We. That makes for a reverse order in terms of their time of publication.I am not sure why I felt drawn to these books in succession. May be these readings came in wake of the increasing unc...

“The nature of psychological compulsion is such that those who act under constraint remain under the impression that they are acting on their own initiative. The victim of mind-manipulation does not know that he is a victim. To him the walls of his prison are invisible, and he believes himself to be free. That he is not free is apparent only to other people. His servitude is strictly objective.”While its illustrious counterpart, Orwell’s 1984, has entered our cultural lexicon in more significant...

Brave New World
A difficult book to rate. I thoroughly hated the journey. Random thoughts that popped into my head along the way included:- I’d like to go to Iceland. Right now.- I could really use a soma tablet.- Dystopia is so not my cup of teaThe ideas communicated are both profound and profoundly disturbing, but the vehicle used to communicate them to the reader is simply excruciating. Lame, shallow characterizations along with a simplistic and simply boring plot = a lethal combination. I...

I somehow managed to live to age 60 before reading a book most people read in high school. The title is so etched in our culture, I had little curiosity - and now I've discovered just how brilliant this 1932 novel is. While the specifics of Huxley's Brave New World may not yet be here, or not in the form he envisioned, the picture he paints is frightening. As he says in the introduction: "There is, of course, no reason why the new totalitarianisms should resemble the old...A really efficient tot...

Prophetic. Well, Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) tried to predict what would happen probably during our time now up to the 26th century or 632 A.F. (Anno Ford with Year 0 being 1908 when Model T was introduced). He wrote this novel, Brave New World in 1931 and first published in 1932. Fifteen years after, in 1949 George Orwell did a similar thing when he published his social science fiction, 1984. Both Huxley and Orwell were like Nostradamus but without the dreams or visions. Huxley came from the famo...
