Re-Evaluating "A Brave New World," By Aldous Huxley

Imagine looking out in the horizon, and creating a new and better future than we feel we have today. Aldous Huxley saw a very different brave new world on this horizon, and wrote a classic anyone remotely interested in the future should read.In the mind of Aldous Huxley, a society of the future would have become a dystopian, hi-tech society. A world of were people are controlled, and cloned around the needs of the higher levels of society- The Alphas.It is a World were a slave-like workforce perform the menial tasks, whilst the higher levels of society are conceived, and run the society. The lower levels of society are created by cloning, where their intelligence and looks are designed around the tasks they do- leaving only the managers and technicians only able to think freely like we do today.Many people may be shocked by this society, as there are no families or relationships in the hierarchy of society. Everyone shares each other, as free love is encouraged, and after wor
k, citizens look for someone to "engage" with- so shared sexual freedom is the norm..In one way the hierarchy of society enjoys a pleasant life, with vacations, comfortable living and work conditions, never age, and die comfortably when they reach 90. But the rest of the cloned society are oblivious of their existence- happy and content in their life, despite the fact they are still human.One controversial side of this society is the use of mood-enhancing drugs to condition even the higher levels of this society. The use of sona is encouraged, which instantly creates a positive mood, whilst cloned-slaves are dependent on other mood enhancing drugs.A Brave New World is a cynical and humorous book in many ways, were society does work but is conformist and elitist, whilst there is no aging, family, hardship, illness, love, nature or social mobility- But instead shared love, addiction to mood enhancing drugs, and the unquestioned service of cloned slaves from the lowest levels o
f society.A disturbing world some of us could see as being immoral and unnatural, but at the same time gladly exchange places with members of the higher levels of this society- the Alphas.You can watch "A Brave New World," through Google videos, or find the book through Google books. Enjoy.....
