What strikes me about <i>Brave New World</i> is in the way that its characters are used to communicate the specific ideas that Aldous Huxley wanted to address, in that they exist merely as tour guides of this alternative reality to spark our thoughts and feelings into an internal debate of these alternative systems and values against our current state of affairs. While the path that these characters tread does hold its own set of outcomes and consequences that shape the story, the emphasis is never present enough to establish personal identification. This internal debate is the engine that carries the reading experience and beyond, it is the ingredient that moulds the legacy it has today. However, the most striking aspect about it is the findings of that debate itself, which has led me to an obvious grey area that considers both sides of the coin, given what both have to offer and are capable of achieving. Perhaps these are preliminary thoughts that would eventually evolve, shaping a worldview that would differ from what I carry as I presently write this review.
