Advantages: sharp, readable, very apocalyptic :)
Disadvantages: none
What is perfect? Aldous presents us an answer that's not
far from reality... Brave New World. An advanced playground
where we can feel safe and free.
A future where we don't have to worry about individuality,
because there is none. We love our mobiles. We love buying new toys.
And society will do anything to keep us happy.. No more pain. No more
suffering. Everyone gets what he thinks he wants; a perfect program
with an ocasional bug.
In this story the bug is a thinking, feeling individual who knows loneliness.
He's going to stand up and face the matrix..
And i do wish him luck. 'Cause life ain't easy. It's a struggle...
Sometimes..
To discover what loneliness is. To discover that you do care..
That you really do want to make a difference..
But you still have fears.. Many fears..
You might have fear of imperfection.. Fear of failure..
Fear of strangers.. Fear of freedom.. Fear of mobiles...
Fear of knowledge.. Fear of growing old.. Fear of society.
Fear of sleep. Fear of being stared at. Fear of fears...
Usually this person would do best by going to a psychiater to talk
about those issues and to find a solution.. But in this day of age we are
capable of cloning our way to perfection. Mistakes will be deleted..
No more of those retarded, old and ugly things that aren't
fit for our community..
We will keep conditioning our environment.. Our vegetables..
The rest of our food. Our bodies.. Sillicons to substitute. Experiments
with our personal and unique features.. Thousands of people
carrying the same nose. Not to mention the amount of fake
tits roaming this planet, forever doomed..
Just go on and take a look at your tomorrow.

- 26/02/02 Same as jillmurphy. This is a memorable book. So much to it, as I remember from a long time ago. A little more detail and I would have been enticed to re-read it. Welcome to Dooyoo. |
