Brave new world (Brave New World)
About five years ago, I read Aldous Huxley’s classic Brave New World. Just over the evening, I swallowed this story about the misadventures of the Savage from an Indian reservation in the future of London. The inhabitants of this London are divided into castes, whose life is determined even from the assembly line for the release of people, which replaced live birth in the future. All but alphas have twins, and the further you are in the Greek alphabet, the more limited you are by design and the more copies you have come out of the incubatories. The institution of marriage in this brave new world has been abolished, as has the concept of mother and father - something that reminds me of modernity. Everyone sits on a soma that makes life easier (In the novel it's drugs, in our reality it could be antidepressants.). Culture, if one may call it that, is laid down by the members of this society through the playback of attitudes in dreams, a mechanism called hypnopedia. In general, I will not spoil the plot further, but I note that the novel came out more. 90 Years ago, and still interesting to read:)
If you like dystopia as much as I do, I recommend the following:
- "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin (here here I've been thinking about her.)
- «451 Fahrenheit degree by Ray Bradbury
- «1984George Orwell Predatory Things of the Century by the Strugatsky Brothers
- "Gattaca" movie 1997 Andrew Niccol "Equilibrium" by Kurt Wimmer
