    <![CDATA[&quot;Community, Identity, Stability&quot; is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian World State. Here everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression, babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of entertainment is a &quot;Feelie,&quot; a movie that stimulates the senses of sight, hearing, and touch.

Huxley foreshadowed many of the practices and gadgets we take for granted today--let's hope the sterility and absence of individuality he predicted aren't yet to come.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I love everything about this book, because it's everything I could ever want from a utopian text (or dystopian, depending on how you look at it).
