Un mundo feliz

Aldous Huxley

3.98 AVERAGE


i was fascinated with huxley's perception of the future and appreciated how he pushed through current social stigmas and realities to create something new. but then again, i always love a story that portrays a future government with total and utter control over society. stirs the rebel in me...
i'd give it a 4.5


i know this is such a famous book but i simply only enjoyed like 30 minutes of it

dont read this if you're not ready to learn some 18+ vocab

I love the writing and I still find this type of future so possible that it creeps me out. Even weirder to think that he thought up this future back in 1932.

A lot of fun things to think about. 
Soma, sexuality, classes. 
Helps me meditate on the factors for a utopia. This is a very stable world. Chilling to think about. Huxley is that dude.

9.5/10

Pensavo che non potesse esserci libro più inquietante di 1984 in quanto a possibili risvolti negativi del progesso.. evidentemente ho fatto un bel buco nell'acqua.
