Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before. Cloning, feel-good drugs, antiaging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media -- has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 AF (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, Brave New World is both a warning to be heeded and thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment. - Container.
I guess it might be the point of the book, but I couldn't feel that any character was real, everything felt stereotypical; while at the same time that "prediction" of the future does not seem plausible to me.
And I repeat, it might be the point of the book, so, if that is the case, then great job. I just did not enjoy it or gained any interesting insight.
Die gesamte Dystopie ist sehr interessant und erschreckend, verliert sich aber leider dermaßen in detailierten, montonen Beschreibungen das ich aus langeweile immer wieder abschweifte und ganze Kapitel zum Teil noch einmal anhören musste. Leider ändert auch die zugrunde liegende Story daran nichts, da diese für mich so wirkt als habe Huxley sie im nachhinein eingearbeitet, um seinen Ideen irgendwie einen roten Faden zu verpassen, damit aus seinem Buch kein philosphisches Sachbuch sondern ein Roman wird.
Read this immediately afte reading the Orwell classic, 1984. I admit, I struggled reading this book. The method of story telling, with the switching of character perspective was difficult to follow. The idea of the book became far more clearer as the book progressed and became clear especially towards the end.
However the ideas presented in the book and their demonstration was thought provoking.
