Brave New World

Nature is full of mistakes. Children are flawed, because nature isn’t perfect. So why put up with the inefficiencies of nature in the first place? In this world where people are born in test tubes, everything is controlled by drug traffickers. Everyone is in on it, and genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs are all the rage. No one is complaining, except for Bernard Marx. He alone wants to break free, and his only escape might be to go to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old way of life still survives. But is this imperfect life really what Marx wants or is it just his quest to find a cure for his distress? This is Aldous Huxley’s most famous novel, and considered to be the definitive dystopian novel.
