Thread: Brand New World - Adolus Huxley

I kind of like "Brand New World", actually. Substitute consumerism for drugs and off we go. Would have been perfect for Jose Phillip Farmer

I have tried to listen to the audio book but have had problems keeping my attention. I think I would be able to follow it better if I actually read the book.

You could just listen to the song

Dystopian social-sci-fi. *drools*

I love Huxley. And Orwell. And Bradbury, and that guy who wrote Stand on Zanzibar whose name presently eludes me. Huxley in particular showed a future which was plausible - and still is. I can see our society going insane with self-pleasure.

I'm writing something now which takes inspiration from Brave New World. It's kind of... World State meets People's Republic of China. Got the idea after my own country threatened to censor the internet. It's an interesting exploration.
