Finally, Finally, Finally!! We have come at last to the Aldous Huxley work that completes the set of dystopian society. 1984, George Orwell's response to Huxley's Brave New World, highlights the more communist, highly government regulated totalitarianism of brutality. Brave New World highlights the more capitalist/consumerist side of a world ruled by pleasure. Give in to the state and you shall have everything you ever wanted. Ease, convenience and un-passion are the staple of Huxley's Brave New World.
Yay. Give in to the pleasure!
Odd, really. So many people look back at the prescience of writers past, and then wonder how on earth we got into the state in which we now find ourselves. Could it be that too few people read, and listen?
ReplyDeleteI like the way you write. I just wish I had the energy to reciprocate.
Namaste. G =]
