spectracommunist's review

5.0

Not only a companion to the Brave New World but it's even a great non-fiction about how our societies gets victimized towards dystopia under psychological techno-dictators. This book explores the concepts of Brave New World, it talks about brain-washing and subliminal injection and how Hitler used these devices in propogandas, also about neo-pavlovian conditioning as applied by commercial brands and religious leaders. It revolves around human-psychology and how herd-corruption takes place.

Amazing thing being, Huxley extrapolated the contents of this entire book just from a single TV interview which he gave being disillusioned about how his fantasy can easily get real soon.

Reads like what it is: a series of psychological / sociological essays. Reminded me of Machiavelli’s The Prince, but if it were written for the dictator of the future. Some light “did I call it or what?” bragging and on the subject of Orwell’s 1984 “nuh uh it wouldn’t happen like that it’d happen like how I wrote it.”
