After reading the novel Brave New World by Aldus Huxley it is easily realized that it is not like any other classic story. It predicts a future overpowered by technology and where the people have no religion. The plot of the story made me think if this would be a perfect place to live or a terrible place to live. It is hard to distinguish where the line is drawn between making life simpler and losing the meaning of life. Although some may look upon this type of life with envy I personally would rather have to work harder than to lose myself. The first think that made me dislike the ideas is this book was the fact that the government overpowered the world, causing the loss of freedom.

In the utopian society, everyone belongs to everyone else. According to our views, these things are unquestionably important and we would go as far to say that we could not live without them. In the utopian society, "you're so conditioned that you can not help doing what you ought to do" (Huxley 244). The members of each class are ranked according to their mental capacity and physical appearance. (Huxley) How can you do that is your life is controlled? ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. It seems unfair that even before you are born, your future is already written out for you. " They say somebody made a mistake when he was still in the bottle---thought he was a Gamma and put alcohol into his blood-surrogate" (Huxley 46 ).
