Hooked on a feeling…
Once more…we present one of the World’s classic novel…Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, where
everyone is high, deviant sexual behavior is the new “normal”, and golf is
played by knocking the ball up an escalator…not to mention the whole Scientific
Industrial/State Complex thingy…
Aside from the Soma and the Obstacle Golf…I’m not sure this
is the greatest story ever told. It has some thought provoking concepts, especially the duality of the Pueblo Hopi
Indians as opposed to the rest of the “modern” World, but all in all, it’s standard
dystopian fare. It is a quick read, so
for your time you will get a very frightening view of the future, 500 years or
so from the present…I especially like the part about Henry Ford replacing God
Almighty…it’s an interesting touch…but why not Edison?
First editions of Brave
New World are very expensive…it’s a recognized classic work, so for
some…price is no object. Here’s your “go
to” alternative…
