New World Description
Welcome
to the The Brave New World Description page:
"Community, Identity,
Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian World State. Here everyone
consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression, babies are born in laboratories,
and the most popular form of entertainment is a "Feelie," a movie that stimulates
the senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Though there is no violence and everyone
is provided for, Bernard Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship
with a young women has the potential to be much more than the confines of their
existence allow. Huxley foreshadowed many of the practices and gadgets we take
for granted today--let's hope the sterility and absence of individuality he predicted
aren't yet to come.
