Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress…

Huxley's ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.

    💤Saai!

    I really have to be honest on this one; I didn't like it. It is way to confusing, doesn't offer much explanation at important events and the main idea of that the book is far too confusing...

    Extremely disappointing ending...

Citaten

  • Roman Vlasovciteerde uit8 jaar geleden
    'All right, then,' said the Savage, 'I'm claiming the right to be unhappy.'
    'Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and weak; the right to suffer disease; the right to have too little to eat; the right to live in constant fear of what may happen tomorrow; the right to fall a victim to pains of every kind.'
    There was a long silence.
    'I claim them all,' said the Savage at last.
    Mustapha Mond spoke slowly. 'You're welcome,' he said.

    'All the difference in the world. People used to turn to God when they were growing old and troubled and tired of the world. In the modern world we've got youth and happiness right up to the end. What follows? Evidently, that we can be independent of God. "Religious feeling will make up to us all our losses", says the writer of one of these old books. But we haven't any losses to be made up. We don't need religious feeling.'

    'The ideal population,' said Mustapha Mond, 'is like an iceberg - eight-ninths below the waterline, one-ninth above.'
    'And they're happy below the waterline?'
    'Happier than above it. Happier than your friends here, for example.'
