Has any one read the novel, Brave new world? And what its about.?

Answer 1

Great book, paints a disturbing vision of our future, All people belong to either alphas, betas, gammas or deltas, A are bred for strength and intelligence, and d are 'simian like' manual labourers. all people are young and sterile, they are managed by drugs and orgies. the point of the novel is how an adverse reality which is offensive to us now can be justified as normal. in BNW everyone is happy. The Betas are glad that they are not trouled with the responsibilities of alphas and glad that they are better than gammas and deltas, remember when reading the book that the author was a drug fiend and the reality is a bit daft.

Answer 2

I read it a long time ago. It's a dystopian/utopian novel written by Aldous Huxley that describes a future world in which a single global government is in control, and has created a society that one could either call utopian or totalitarian, depending on your attitude. On the one hand, peace and prosperity are total, there is no hunger or poverty, and the world is healthy and technologically advanced, but all this is achieved at the expense of the things that we normally think of as necessary for happiness: art and literature, science, reliigion and philosophy. The characters are pretty one-dimensional, existing mostly to help move along Huxley's ideas.

The basic story is in three parts. The first part introduces us to the society that is based on the principles of Henry Ford. The second part introduces us to a character known as John the Savage, who lives on a reservation in New Mexico for those individuals who choose to live outside the system of the world government. He is brought to London to be exhibited, and is appalled by what he perceives as a lack of freedom, in a society that considers itself free in other ways (no war or conflict or want, but no love either). The primary conflict of the whole story is a comparison between the "civilized world" (the brave new world) and the "savage world," which bears a remarkable similarity to our current society.

Answer 3

It's a very famous book by Aldous Huxley. You need to read it to appreciate it fully.. .but it does speak about Alphas, Betas etc. (social stratification based really upon education "the surrogate"). Quite a social comment & very much relevant to today.
