Review: Brave New World, Aldous Huxley

Brave New WorldBrave New World by Aldous Huxley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a good book I overlooked far too long due to having a horribly spanish-translated version.

I think it's interesting and really thought provoking given the period in which it was written. It seems it could have been written ten years ago and it still would have been spot-on with most of its social critiques.

Anyone interested in it should also take a look at Guy Debord's Society of Spectacle, since it speaks about much of the same issues.

The book makes you uncomfortable because at some point you start thinking: "maybe this society ain't all bad", while, if you read 1984, you never get that kind of feeling because it's so easy to step into an opposition to the society posited in that book.

The ending is powerful and monstruous.
