People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children or lovers to feel strongly about; they're so conditioned that they practically can't help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there's soma." Soma is a drug engineered to eliminate side effects of sickness, while promoting submission. The revelation of Huxley's world, how it is created and how it functions leads to powerful messages about the purpose of humanity, the pursuit of happiness, the role of suffering and the need for individual human dignity and freedom. It also illustrates Huxley's theory that the masses are more easily mollified by the power of pleasure than the threat of force. Huxley wrote, in a letter to George Orwell dated 21 October, 1949 about the differences between "Brave New World" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four": "Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience."

The people in this world are ensured contentment through an intricate combination of biological conditioning, years of brainwashing, free love, and a drug called soma that has no side effects.

Brave New World is set in a futuristic Utopian society. The people in this world are ensured contentment through an intricate combination of biological conditioning, years of brainwashing, free love, and a drug called soma that has no side effects. Families have been eliminated and children are conceived in peitre dishes and born in labratories. Here they are fed "words of wisdom" as they sleep. Phrases are repeated over and over during their developmental years so that they are ingrained in their brain. It is this way that people are convinced that they are completely happy with their class distinction, even if it is lower than others, and that the individual is nothing and society everything. They also learn not to fear death, and that permisquitity is much more fullfilling than love, which, along with the concept of families is ridiculed. All knowledge of God has been weeded out from societity.
The system is not completely perfect, for it is still questioned at times by those who possess the intelligence to. Bernard Marx is one of these people. Despite all of the stimulated happiness around him he cannot find contentment, which he think lies with love he longs to find with a woman named Lenina. They take a trip to a Savage Reservation, a contained area where people are allowed to live however they want, unrestricted by the utopian society. Here they meet Linda, who was left there, lost, while years ago on a vacation with the Director. She has given birth, a henious thing in this society, to John, who is now a grown man. They bring the two back home where they are gawked and and made into dispicable celebrities. John is very unhappy in this "brave new world" where all semblance of beauty, art, and God have been locked away or destroyed. After Linda dies John speaks speaks with a high ranking officail who tries to convince him that the society is perfect and God is unnessesary. Soonafter, John runs away and lives in seclusion in a lifehouse. He is disgusted by this society and his participation in it, so he regularly whips himself as a form of penence. People continue to watch John or "the savage" as they call him, and copy his actions like it is a sort of game. The story ends with John hanging himself.

Worldveiw Connections:
Through this book, Huxley asks the question where will technology leave us in the end. We see how, in the book, people have been manipulated by technology and live a sort of artificail existance. He also questions happiness and the basis for it. The people in the new world are convinced that they are content because they do not know any better. The savage voices Huxley's idea that there cannot be happiness without love and art, and with love comes pain.

Quotes:

"Till at last the child's mind is these suggestions, and the sum of the suggestions is the child's mind. And not the child's mind only. The adult's mind too-all his life long. The mind that judges and desire and decides-made up of these suggestions. But all these suggestions are our suggestions... Suggestions from the State."
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 2

"Now, suddenly, they trumpeted a call to arms. 'O brave new world!' Miranda was proclaiming the possibility of loveliness, the possibility of transforming even the nightmare into something fine and noble. 'O brave new world!' It was a challenge, a command."
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 15

"Our world is not the same as Othello's world. You can't make flivvers without steel-and you can't make tragedies without social instability. The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get."
- Aldous Huxley, Brave New World, Ch. 16

not that i minded. everybody got a book list. then everybody got split up into groups. you were responsible for reading all the books on your own, but one in particular was chosen for your group to present at the end of the semester. you know--- as a refresher for the rest of the class. because of course EVERYONE was gonna read EVERY book.

i can't remember what i did instead of reading "brave new world", but it was probably fun and involved copious amounts of sweet tea and a gigantic paper mache cow. fortunately it didn't matter because the only group to take their presentation seriously was the "brave new world" group, and the way they presented stuck with me long enough to compel me to read the book later.

maybe it was the weird music they had playing during their presentation, maybe it was the fact that super hot chris mayns had to sit in my group (the alphas) but i was seriously attracted to the world this group created in our classroom. we drew cards randomly to determine our class, then sat accordingly and wore cute little colored wristbands. everybody got pez (soma!) and *gasp* a birth control belt. throughout the presentation people were moved next to someone and lost a packet on their belt (listen, this is scandalous for a bible belt high school, ok? by the way, i did NOT get to sit next to chris, which is probably good because i would have been mortified and choked on a pez)

anyway, the presentation was fun, but i didn't get around to reading my (now ex) boyfriends copy until a year ago. and i started getting a small, evil thought exactly the same as i had in class so many years ago... maybe some people would actually like this system. maybe some people would actually BENEFIT from this system. people don't have to think? they aren't expected to do much, go to college, become something bigger than what they actually are? they're rewarded with good feeling drugs? they are proud to have accomplished what they have? and they... DON'T HAVE TO THINK FOR THEMSELVES!?

I know i'm going to get slammed for saying this later, especially because i never do actual reviews or completely delve into what i'm thinking (so shoot me) but haven't you ever been roaming the world wide inter-web and found a little troller you thought "well, this person is a poor use of a human brain?" yes, you have. admit it.

just think, a little test tube tweaking and that person wouldn't mind manning the cash register at piggly wiggly for the rest of his life, saving the rest of humanity from noxious online rants about the hotness of avril lavinge and the brilliance of starcraft (apparently its a video game thats KOOLER THAN U!!!!1#)

"Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian World State. "The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children or lovers to feel strongly about; they're so conditioned that they practically...more "Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian World State.

The revelation of Huxley's world, how it is created and how it functions leads to powerful messages about the purpose of humanity, the pursuit of happiness, the role of suffering and the need for individual human dignity and freedom.

It also illustrates Huxley's theory that the masses are more easily mollified by the power of pleasure than the threat of force. Huxley wrote, in a letter to George Orwell dated 21 October, 1949 about the differences between "Brave New World" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four": "Within the next generation I believe that the world's rulers will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging and kicking them into obedience."

It is interesting that this book was published in 1932. Henry Ford is treated as a god in this world and most of the devices used to alter humanity are chemical, physical, psychological. Yet, many similar methods were used by Stalin, Hitler, and in contemporary North Korea to alter the thinking of masses of population - and eliminate those that don't fit with that population. I think if Huxley were alive to write this book today, his world also include DNA alteration/ genetics.

Of course, in order for the world to function, you have to suspend belief in total depravity. But, even if you buy into Huxley's humanism, I think there is an important lesson in this work about purpose. The entire society is established in the pursuit of pleasure and stability - yet it is sterile and lacking, terrifyingly uncomfortable for one who has experienced so much more. Yet, how much time do we waste pursuing pleasure and stability instead of God? Yet this book shows the end game of such a pursuit: ultimately God, His existence, His role in people's lives, is eliminiated and the idea of living for God and others extinct.

However, lacking any foundation for absolute truth, I did find the last section of the book a bit tedious, as it broke down into a religious experience uninformed by Scripture. Nonetheless, I found the ending (without giving it away) a probable outcome of the plot Huxley set in motion.

I liked this book. I would recommend it to people who like to think about the philosophical ideas mentioned. I couldn't give it more stars, though, because I think it is easier to illuminate the evil or what is wrong with the world, and much more difficult to document the good, righteous and true and it is the second catagory that I find both more enjoyable and transformational....less

Brave New World is set in a fictitious, futuristic world (632 A.F). In this society, every aspect of their culture is dominated by science and technology. Society is based on a caste system, purposely designed from the application of genetic engineering. Each person is genetically determined to perform certain tasks needed by society. The individual is tailored to the task, not the task to fulfill the individual. The major aim of the entire system is to keep people happy through ignorance, indulgence, and biological determination. In this society, humans have programed values, prejudisms, desires, and beliefs. Everyone is integrated into a functional society, and efficiency is the major goal of their system.

The story revolves around two main characters; Lenina–a genetically ascertained, high class, middle-aged woman who is a typical product of what the modern system has created. The other character, John, is a young man born in an Indian society. John has a much different culture than Lenina. Having been born “viviparously” (having a real mother), and having grown up with traditional Indian values, and a love for Shakespearian literature, John uses his own mind and life experiences to interpret the world around him.

As the culture of Lenina and John are thrown together, a great contrast appears between the two societies. It becomes apparent that the author is comparing progressive society with traditional, or the natural society of the “savage”. In effect, the book is a satirical in nature because it attempts to demolish the idea that progressive society, where integration and unity are the primary goal, is for the greater good. The author, having written the book in 1932 wants to arouse in society’s awareness that progress is not always better. He accomplishes this by suggesting that science and technology strip humans of their humanity and individuality. This same basic teaching was taught by Rousseau–that man, as a savage, is noble, and the closer he is to nature, the more virtuous and individualistic he will be.

Throughout the novel, John is ridiculed and misunderstood from the larger society because he is not integrated. As people try and persuade John to try and “fit in,” John more firmly asserts that he doesn’t want to become like the rest. He wants to experience pain, true joy, life, death–all the attributes of humanity that the modern system has rooted out. After trying in vain to coerce people to think on their own, in the end John hangs himself–a resounding symbol of the strangling death of humanity.

This work proves to be somewhat prophetic as contemporary society is moving more and more toward the type of world that Huxley described in 1932. As progress and technology increase and individuals in society become increasingly integrated, the more productive society becomes. Huxley wishes people to evaluate one important question. We know we can turn mankind into a functional, productive machine–allowing for an ever increasingly productive future, but should we?

I can fully understand why it is considered a masterpiece and I am surprised it is not referenced more in popular culture (seems like Orwell’s 1984 gets much more publicity today, whereas this one might be more on point in describing today’s new world order.) In looking up the listed themes on the cliff notes version of the novel, the following are referenced: the use of technology to control society; the consumer society; the incompatibility of happiness and truth; the dangers of an all-powerful state; alienation; the absence of God in the modern world; promiscuity - do any of these sound like they might have some relevance in today’s society.

Novel is set in the future where the vast majority of the world is part of the World State. There is no social competition, no parenthood, no marriage, no history, no science, etc. Sex is encouraged and is practices during childhood. Society is divided into five castes and all members are trained to be good consumers in order to keep the economy strong. Isolation and being different are strongly discouraged. People are kept happy through the use of the drug soma. There is a group of people not from the World State who live as primitives in the Savage Reservation, reproducing normally, fearing death, etc. The plot of the novel essentially involves one of these savages who are brought to the World State and how he adjusts to these differences.

I especially loved some of the dialogue between the savage and the leader of the World State. For example,

. . .

“[t]he world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they're so conditioned that they practically can't help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there's soma. Which you go and chuck out of the window in the name of liberty . . .

Besides, we have our stability to think of. We don't want to change. Every change is a menace to stability. That's another reason why we're so chary of applying new inventions. Every discovery in pure science is potentially subversive; even science must sometimes be treated as a possible enemy. Yes, even science

Call it the fault of civilization. God isn't compatible with machinery and scientific medicine and universal happiness. You must make your choice. Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness.”

I'm finding myself drawn to dystopian novels lately. Not really sure why. I think it's partly because Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale had such an effect on me when I was in college, and I'm constantly looking for something that disquiets my soul in the same way.

I'm finding myself drawn to dystopian novels lately. Not really sure why. I think it's partly because Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale had such an effect on me when I was in college, and I'm constantly looking for something that disquiets my soul in the same way. And I very much enjoyed Fahrenheit 451. Plus books like this keep popping out at me at the library. Anyway, my next foray into dystopia was Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.

The future Earth Huxley creates in the book is ironically idyllic. People are genetically engineered for certain work, and each person is conditioned to love their lot in life, even if it's digging a pit or controlling an elevator. Huxley writes, "'And that,' put in the Director sententiously, 'that is the secret of happiness and virtue -- liking what you've got to do. All conditioning aims at that: making people like their inescapable social destiny.'"

People work their seven and a half hours a day, and then spend the rest of their time playing games, going to the "feelies" (movies with physical sensations), and having all the sex they can have with whomever they want. Because all people are engineered in bottles, "Mother" and "Father" are essentially swear words, and only the savages still raise their own children. Everyone is permanently happy, and if they are not they can just pop a few grams of Soma, a hallucinagen, and everything is fine.

The story centers around a few key characters in London: Bernard Marx, a scientist discontent with how unfeeling the world is, John Savage, a man raised out in the wilderness of New Mexico by Indians (who haven't been civilized) and unaccustomed to the world outside the reservation walls, and Lenina Crown, a woman who is loved (in different ways) by both Bernard and John (and a host of other guys too, now that I think about). The novel ends warning readers that such modern hedonism and mechanization of life has its consequences.

To me, this book almost seemed like a parody of other dystopian novels, even though it was one of the first. I didn't find it hit particularly close to home, which is how most novels really strike a chord with me. It wasn't really terrifying in any way. I thought Huxley was very creative since he turned God into Henry Ford, inventor of the Model T and the assembly line. Everyone walks around cursing "Oh Ford" instead of "Oh Lord." He also nailed our hedonistic culture right on the head (sex and drugs and games equal happiness), which is pretty awesome since he wrote the book in 1932. ...less

I have mixed feelings about this one. On one hand, this book is absolutely classic- a futuristic satire ridiculing society’s progression toward adopting so much technology that it eventually controls every aspect of human life. The purpose of this technology is to make everyone happy and keep everyone in their place. In all honesty, this society doesn’t seem too bad- No sickness or old age, all the sex you could ever want, small amounts of melancholy and depression. And, if you end up being ...more

In Brave New World, first published in 1932, Huxley paints the picture of a world that is willing to surrender true joy for a bland happiness free of suffering, that is willing to abandon truth for comfort, that is willing to eschew heights in order to avoid depths, and that is quick to surrender human ambition and individual personality for the sake of societal harmony.

Incredible to think this science-fiction book by Aldous Huxley was first published in 1932. Portrays a future where happiness is the universal goal of human society. Total happiness is ultimately achieved by the removal of art, science, and religion, and maintained by technology, conditioning, total fulfillment of physical desires, and drugs. The novel gets poignant when a 'savage' raised at a primitive Reservation in the desert Southwest enters the civilized world. The contrasts of the two ...more

I wasn't really shocked or moved by it, and the characters were pretty boring, and a lot of the ideas in the book were ludicrous, but I guess that is to be expected when reading a book about the future 75 years after it was published.
