Summary
Uma sociedade inteiramente organizada segundo princípios científicos， na qual a mera menção das antiquadas palavras “pai” e “mãe” produzem repugnância。 Um mundo de pessoas programadas em laboratório， e adestradas para cumprir seu papel numa sociedade de castas biologicamente definidas já no nascimento。 Um mundo no qual a literatura， a música e o cinema só têm a função de solidificar o espírito de conformismo。 Um universo que louva o avanço da técnica， a linha de montagem， a produção em série， a uniformidade， e que idolatra Henry Ford。

4。5⭐️ Far and away the best classic I’ve read up to this point。 Thoroughly enjoyable， and hardly believable that it was published 90 years ago

This book made me realize that dystopian books are some of my favorite of all time， the writing is amazing and the youtube audiobook makes it come to life in an incredible way。

Although I read this book rather quickly， I think it was a good addition to the literary adventure I've been taking。 （Especially after reading Henry V by Shakespeare。。 If you've read the book you'll know what I mean。） From reading about warriors forced to go through famine， disease and poor morale that eventually become victorious over their enemies， to this tale of purposeless happiness and an aversion of instability- makes the reading of this book have even more contrast。 Overall， I liked it。 Although I read this book rather quickly， I think it was a good addition to the literary adventure I've been taking。 （Especially after reading Henry V by Shakespeare。。 If you've read the book you'll know what I mean。） From reading about warriors forced to go through famine， disease and poor morale that eventually become victorious over their enemies， to this tale of purposeless happiness and an aversion of instability- makes the reading of this book have even more contrast。 Overall， I liked it。 Although it definitely is a dystopia， it is very subversive and hard to argue against。 In fact， if not for the infantile and excessive culture of Huxley's Britain， the world does not seem that dystopic。 But yet one thing plagues it- purposelessness。 In the story truth， beauty， religion， science。。 they are all twisted in order to maintain social order and happiness。 But in that system- the world is stagnant。 Changes have not been made for centuries in this Brave New World， since dynamism tends to bring disorder with it。 Yet I've already said enough here。。 read the book for yourself and come up with your own conclusions。 In short， although the world was made to be a utopia， it all becomes an unescapable nightmare。 。。。more

letto in inglese， quindi ci ho messo un po' a familiarizzare con la storia， ma a parte le descrizioni scientifiche e tecniche iniziali， non è stata una lettura troppo difficile。 per quanto riguarda il worldbuilding l'ho preferito di gran lunga a 1984， benché si tratti nel caso del secondo di una distopia differente rispetto a brave new world。 ho riflettuto su questo paragone semplicemente perché nel mondo della letteratura si tende a confrontare i due libri nel tentativo di comprendere quale i l letto in inglese， quindi ci ho messo un po' a familiarizzare con la storia， ma a parte le descrizioni scientifiche e tecniche iniziali， non è stata una lettura troppo difficile。 per quanto riguarda il worldbuilding l'ho preferito di gran lunga a 1984， benché si tratti nel caso del secondo di una distopia differente rispetto a brave new world。 ho riflettuto su questo paragone semplicemente perché nel mondo della letteratura si tende a confrontare i due libri nel tentativo di comprendere quale i lettori preferiscano。 il tema della società perfetta è un importante spunto di riflessione e sicuramente il punto forte del romanzo。 tutti almeno una volta nella vita ci siamo chiesti come dovrebbe essere la società ideale， e direi che Huxley ne ha creata una interessantissima。personaggi adeguati al contesto， soprattutto ho apprezzato John， il Selvaggio， il più diverso tra tutti e chiaramente il più complesso。 riconosco anche che quello di Huxley sia un messaggio molto profondo: gli uomini rinuncerebbero mai all'amore， all'arte e alla famiglia per una società all'apparenza perfetta？ 。。。more

I really really enjoyed this book。 Super well written， interesting and futuristic perspectives。 It’s a huge commentary on the ill effects centering society around happiness as opposed to truth。 I think that’s what it’s about at least。 Kind of a depressing ending。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 A lot of comparisons have been built between Aldous Huxley's dystopia and George Orwell's 1984。 At first， I could not understand why。 The Orwellian world seemed to be much more about language and politics while Huxley's take on the genre appeared to be about the positivist misusage of science and progress as they were perceived during the last years of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th - a period most dominated by the beginnings of what would become the capitalization of both We A lot of comparisons have been built between Aldous Huxley's dystopia and George Orwell's 1984。 At first， I could not understand why。 The Orwellian world seemed to be much more about language and politics while Huxley's take on the genre appeared to be about the positivist misusage of science and progress as they were perceived during the last years of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th - a period most dominated by the beginnings of what would become the capitalization of both Western economy and society。 Halfway through BNW， I realized how wrongly I had been interpreting it and went back from the start - a decision I do not regret， now that it is finished and I can think about it as a whole。 As Neil Postman clarifies: What Orwell feared were those who would ban books。 What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book， for there would be no one who wanted to read one。 Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information。 Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism。 Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us。 Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance。 Orwell feared we would become a captive culture。 Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture， preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies， the orgy porgy， and the centrifugal bumblepuppy。 As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited， the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions。" In 1984， Huxley added， people are controlled by inflicting pain。 In Brave New World， they are controlled by inflicting pleasure。 In short， Orwell feared that what we hate will ruin us。 Huxley feared that what we love will ruin us。 If 1984 makes me shiver because of its foretelling possibilities， Brave New World makes me shiver because what it describes is already happening on several fronts。 Each of the type characters we meet in this scientocracy and on Malpais represents a portion of human beings that already exist。 Whether it be Bernard， the shallow non-conformist， the unaccomplished "academic" Helmholtz， or even the morally strict John， who refuses to go beyond his own naïveté but winds up ostracised by both factions， believing that must purify himself of "sin" - those are parts of human nature， which is multiple and exciting。 Even if "Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can’t"（ as stated by the Controller）， even if happiness means sacrifice easiness， youth， and stability， even if it means dying painfully of old age。 This would give a terrific handful of essays， but I shall stop for now and leave it in John's own words: ‘But I don’t want comfort。 I want God， I want poetry， I want real danger， I want freedom， I want goodness。 I want sin。’ ‘In fact，’ said Mustapha Mond， ‘you’re claiming the right to be unhappy。’ ‘All right， then，’ said the Savage defiantly， ‘I’m claiming the right to be unhappy。’ 。。。more

I’m honestly not really sure what to make of this one。 It’s one of those books where you read and when you’re done you have a really icky feeling， but you’re pretty sure that that’s the way the author wants you to feel。The first half was some solid world-building。 It’s easy to spot the characteristics of society that Huxley was criticizing。 I hated the second half。 There’s no redemption arc。 No hope。 Long story short: The world is doomed， but at least everyone is happy？ 5/5 on the writing。 Well I’m honestly not really sure what to make of this one。 It’s one of those books where you read and when you’re done you have a really icky feeling， but you’re pretty sure that that’s the way the author wants you to feel。The first half was some solid world-building。 It’s easy to spot the characteristics of society that Huxley was criticizing。 I hated the second half。 There’s no redemption arc。 No hope。 Long story short: The world is doomed， but at least everyone is happy？ 5/5 on the writing。 Well done。 Obviously。 Ew/5 on the story。 Read it only if you’re ready for the resulting malaise。 Be prepared to hate everyone and everything。 。。。more

[3]Brave New World is the story of a dystopia where there is no sense on individuality， where people are born and breed into their 'class' and are conditioned from birth to do their jobs。 There are no families， and 'everyone belongs to everyone else'。 The first half of the novel follows a guy named Bernard， an alpha plus （the highest class） who unfortunately does not have the physical appearance of an alpha plus， possibly due to some accident with his test tube。 The second half of the novel foll [3]Brave New World is the story of a dystopia where there is no sense on individuality， where people are born and breed into their 'class' and are conditioned from birth to do their jobs。 There are no families， and 'everyone belongs to everyone else'。 The first half of the novel follows a guy named Bernard， an alpha plus （the highest class） who unfortunately does not have the physical appearance of an alpha plus， possibly due to some accident with his test tube。 The second half of the novel follows John， a 'savage'， i。e。 someone born outside this civilization， who comes in and tries to live in this country。The overall concept of this dystopian world is quite interesting， and I should say well thought out， specially based on a brief discussion about this towards the end of the book。 However， way more focus is provided towards describing the cultural scene and side stories than required， atleast for my taste。 The plot itself is very straightforward， and I was really looking forward to some healthy discussions about the dystopia， some psychological investigation into the lives of people living in such a country， and maybe some more information about the working of such a country， which unfortunately I did not get。 Personally， if someone is looking to read a dystopian fantasy， I would direct them to 1984 by George Orwell。 。。。more

"Nowy wspaniały świat" to porywająca historia o świecie idealnym， w którym życie jednostki definiowane jest już w momencie narodzin， a każdy przejaw oryginalności może przynieść kłopoty。Aldous Huxley w napisanej w 1932 roku powieści kreuje utopijny obraz ogólnego porządku i zorganizowania。 Podział na kasty， masowa produkcja （tak， produkcja w fabryce） dzieci i ich silne warunkowanie od najmłodszych lat， skupienie na przyjemnościach i komunistycznej idei， że wszystko jest "nasze" - oto tytułowy "N "Nowy wspaniały świat" to porywająca historia o świecie idealnym， w którym życie jednostki definiowane jest już w momencie narodzin， a każdy przejaw oryginalności może przynieść kłopoty。Aldous Huxley w napisanej w 1932 roku powieści kreuje utopijny obraz ogólnego porządku i zorganizowania。 Podział na kasty， masowa produkcja （tak， produkcja w fabryce） dzieci i ich silne warunkowanie od najmłodszych lat， skupienie na przyjemnościach i komunistycznej idei， że wszystko jest "nasze" - oto tytułowy "Nowy wspaniały świat"。 Pomysł na taką jego kreację， podobnie jak wprowadzenie weń czytelnika， bardzo przypadły mi do gustu。 Podoba mi się także， że Autor nie próbuje demonizować wykreowanego systemu; pokazuje jego plusy i udowadnia， że dąży do zadowolenia jednostki w każdym aspekcie， ponieważ to przekłada się na odpowiednie działanie całego społeczeństwa。 Mroki tego "idealnego" tworu Czytelnik odkrywa， poznając pragnienia głównych bohaterów （z naszego punktu widzenia， zupełnie błahe） i porównując panujące w fikcyjnym świecie zasady z własną moralnością。 Dobrym demaskatorem pozornej utopii tego "wspaniałego świata" jest John， urodzony i wychowany w rezerwacie， do którego technologia nie dotarła。 Myślę， że to najbardziej "ludzki" （w znaczeniu - najbliższy człowieka XX。 wieku） bohater， chociaż z czasem zaczęłam go postrzegać jako zbyt konserwatywnego i zamkniętego， z premedytacją ślepego na pozytywne aspekty cywilizacji。 Pozostali protagoniści nie wzbudzili mojej sympatii， wydali mi się przesadnie samolubni i puści。Mimo nieaktualności niektórych wizji - bowiem czasy obecne okazują się pod wieloma względami bardziej zaawansowane technologicznie od opisywanego roku 2541 - powieść dość celnie trafia w kilka bolączek współczesnego świata， jak szukanie przyjemności w używkach， próba stworzenia "człowieka idealnego"， ucieczka od religii ku innym idolom czy komercjalizacja cierpienia （ten aspekt chyba najbardziej mnie tutaj poruszył）。 Autor nie uderza jednak w moralizatorski ton; raczej sygnalizuje / przerysowuje problem i skłania odbiorcę do refleksji。Czy polecam "Nowy wspaniały świat"？ Jak najbardziej。 Wprawdzie powieść nie jest ideałem， a sama historia mogłaby być troszkę mniej chaotyczna， ale chętnie przeczytałabym inne opowieści z tego uniwersum， dowiedziała się więcej。 。。。more

I can’t believe I hadn’t read this book before。 I’ve heard it referenced many times in my circles and it came highly recommended！Reading the book in conjunction with Carl Truman’s The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self probably gave this novel a little more sting for than it might have previously。 Some may find the language and dialogues difficult to follow， but it’s worth working through to then end。 This is an exquisitely written tragedy！

1932。 All those issue-driven books they used to make kids read in school could’ve been worse。 Huxley is no Harper Lee or Stephen Crane， but his brightly lit nightmare， with its tech oligarchs， depressed promiscuity and consumerism， does indeed deserve the ear of our country’s future corporate wage-slaves， the genderfluid Gammas destined to stock shelves in Walmart while dreaming of a job in HR。 As a work of art， the novel is flawed。 An unfocused narrative made for an unfocused read。 Though the c 1932。 All those issue-driven books they used to make kids read in school could’ve been worse。 Huxley is no Harper Lee or Stephen Crane， but his brightly lit nightmare， with its tech oligarchs， depressed promiscuity and consumerism， does indeed deserve the ear of our country’s future corporate wage-slaves， the genderfluid Gammas destined to stock shelves in Walmart while dreaming of a job in HR。 As a work of art， the novel is flawed。 An unfocused narrative made for an unfocused read。 Though the characters are saved from lifelessness by acting in complicated ways， the world depicted is so parodic and blunt it makes Orwell look like a watercolorist。 But there’s a lot in here that is prescient。 Bioengineered test tube babies are reared by the state and brainwashed to reject family and the basic building-blocks of society。 Malthusian population control is so victorious that people literally swoon over abortion clinics。 Science is worshipped， but only as a pretense for control， and actively subverted otherwise。 Everyone’s polyamorous， happy but empty， so not really happy at all， but at least safe from danger and anguish—a Hobbesian tradeoff we see in spades today—and then heavily medicated to combat the inevitable depression。And then a lot of it is just glorified gripes， the usual cane-shaking at modernity—same shit as Fahrenheit 451。 “Stupid masses and their sports， brands， sex and synthetic music。” But hey， when you’re right you’re right。 。。。more
