Book Review: Brave New World
Since its publication in 1932, Brave New World has been considered by many to be Aldous Huxley's greatest work. Most people think it is his only work but it is not. In that time this novel has been praised and condemned, dismissed and welcomed, a source of controversy, a subject for sermons, and required reading for many high school students and even college students. It has had twenty-seven printings in the United States. As of now three generations have read and discussed it. Aldous Huxley is a writer of science fiction, a writer of social commentary, a writer with prophetic vision, a writer with a tremendous depth of ideas, and a writer of satire. Brave New World is a masterpiece of science fiction. Huxley has used his imagination greatly in employing existing scientific facts and theories to produce a classic. Few writers of science fiction have equaled Huxley's ability to make the unbelievable seem believable and to make the improbable seem probable. His own interest in science, its use and misuse, its peril and its promise, contributed to the accuracy of his presentation and to the horror of his envisioned utopia. In A.F. 632, which is 632 years After Ford released the Model T, there is a World Society. People
Bernard has his own vision of Society. She wants to make love to him very soon; it is normal in her society. Because of that he's and outcast, and is also often alone. There, they meet John and his mother. ""All right then," said the Savage defiantly, "I'm claiming the right to be unhappy. We have all turned into sheep living our lives according to the norms of society. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, and I want goodness. If they did go out with a member of the opposite sex there had to be a chaperone there. A man is frozen for a crime he did in a time that is very different from the time he is brought back in. It is very similar to how John the Savage was brought into the "brave new world". Its not totally going to be the same but this is the current path. People have no family and marriage does not exist.
