Own well-being is the common good, who takes own welfare too seriously, not being a member of society. The company is divided into alphas, betas, gammas, etc. There are differences, Alphas can think betas also, the other doing menial labor, welfare is regulated by sex, consumerism and Soma (a drug), man? is manipulated so docile! Everything is taken care, the world lacks nothing, this nothing is everything and there is a standstill. Where's all, nothing moves, there is a stopped world, this "brave new world".
Huxley's piece is already written in their 30s, Huxley is social critic and author, he had foresight, as it seems. And like everything is premeditated, planned everything, everything divided, all allocated are no longer desires the harbingers of deeds, it all made possible here, as long as the conformity is maintained. How can someone who is standardized, to be curious?
And today? Is this world achieved? Can the Internet to all that there is something to be? Are the questions out? Where I want to go? Who am I?
Are there alternative worlds, utopias that I need? Beta-semi-plus - a pleasure obviously. The Second Life, the Internet ready, the Kantian "as if" unconsciously celebrates a renaissance. Thinking thus not quite. But the economy is involved. Beta-semi-plus - thinking and fun. In the novel, the ICH is sacrificed. Prospero's reply: "'Tis new to thee!"
Huxley writes in the sequence of HG Wells. Whose worlds are the future worlds, utopias and dystopias of revealing other people, like gods, they report as well as Huxley does by coming days, far in the time, but still very close. It always goes to people who consider the new environment specifically and individually, who do not want the default subordinate or can and in its wake device also Bernhard Marx as visible geek who has to explore the questions of ethics and morality in the context of science Due to its own ideas.
A novel worth reading from 1932, as well as the Wells branches promise the same.
