Book Reviews of Brave New World

Book Review: "...Oh, brave new world, that has such people in it!..."
Summary: 5 Stars

A very different look at an Orwellian nightmare, a very 1984-esque negative utopia, depsite the fact it was written some 12 years before 1984. John Savage's outlook an "Civilazation" is very true, that there should have been more emotion. No respect for the dead (death conditioning), no deep relationships, in fact, there's a promotion of promiscuity. Lenina is the perfect World State citizen, and is proud of her pneumatic way of life. Hoorah for John Savage and Bernard Marx!
