I've watched the anime on TV a couple of years ago and I liked. Do you know if the manga follow the same plot or is different?

Romeo and Juliet

One may smile and smile and be a villain
(Chapter 8)

I finished this first part of the book, and as for others, I'm always suprised for the genial ideas of the sci-fi novels of this period. The world described is distressing: human nature totally controlled (emotionally and genetically), not exist a single person but all are part of the whole and the traditional birth is seen as an abomination (and so the figure of parent). The figure of "Ford", in a chapter described like Freud (chapter 3), is like god, and this society seem based on science and reason, without emotion other than those provided by "soma". I like and I'm curious to continue to read.

I've started a couple of way ago Brave New World. Despite of what I say before, read two books at the same time is becoming a habit.

I started the italian version of the book that includes
"Brave New World" and "Brave New World Revisited":
Il mondo nuovo - Ritorno al mondo nuovo

I tried to build the arms of my family. Funny. But, tell me, this is only promotional for the show or it's an introduction for a game?

I agree. I watched the first season a couple of years ago. I'll continue with the others as soon as possible.
