Homage to Catalonia

"Brave New World," by Aldous Huxley, is a satirical journey into a dystopian future where happiness comes in a pill, babies are grown in bottles, and the World States motto is "Community, Identity, Stability." In this world, people dont read books; they get feelies, sort of like movies that you can touch and smell. The citizens are engineered for their roles, from the intellectually superior Alphas to the not-so-bright Epsilons. Enter our hero, Bernard Marx, whos a bit too short for an Alpha and has a serious case of not fitting in. When he brings back a savage from a reservation, things get a bit awkward, especially at parties. Huxleys masterpiece is a wry, clever poke at the idea of a perfect society, where everyone is blissfully ignorant, and the biggest dilemma is whether to take your soma before or after dinner. Get ready for a wild ride through a world thats as hilariously absurd as it is frighteningly possible.
