galwaygirl 's review for:
Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited
by Aldous Huxley
I loved it. I don't know why I haven't read this book before, but I have liked it as much as I expected. The society Huxley describes has already plenty of similarities with our own society. Of course, soma still doesn't exist and there are some other things which may never happen, but the way he thought to control of the population is not as far as where we are now. Bread and circuses we have plenty, even if different from the book, but as terrorific as it may seem we are already been controlled. Brave New World Revisited gives us a bit of knowledge of where his distopian society came from, and in some manner where we are heading to. I liked reading it so as to know what was happening then for Huxley to create this fable. It is not easy to try to escape from the future we have in front of us, education would be the key for it, but it is difficult to fight against the powers that control our societies. However, it may be our only hope.
