Brave New World

From Conservapedia

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley, published in 1932. It is Huxley's most famous work and a staple of high-school reading lists. Its title comes from a speech by Miranda in Shakespeare's The Tempest: "O brave new world / That hath such people in't!"

classic dystopia with emphasis on, for example, genetic engineering, brainwashing, censorship, destruction of the family. Reproduction is done in the laboratory, with people systematically conditioned for various strata of life. Sex and all the senses are the bases of media exploitation. Literature, art, and philosophy are suppressed, production and consumption are glorified, and the god is Ford (or Freud). Workers are kept content through the drug "soma", and a "savage" is kept on an Indian reservation as a museum exhibit. Bernard Marx, of the Psychological Bureau (one of the ruling Alphas) feels isolated, his Alpha Plus friend Helmholtz Watson is creatively restless, large-breasted Lenina Crowne disgusts Bernard and bores Helmholtz, so they bring the savage John onstage, protest against soma, and are summoned by Mustapha Mond, the Resident World Controller for Western Europe. The controller is an ex-radical himself, who now loves science most. Bernard is drugged, Helmholtz exiled, and John (ambivalent over Lenina) commits suicide. Harsh, ironic, fantastic, and unforgettable. [1]
