In this futuristic look at a world in which happiness for everyone is the main goal of the government, a science fiction classic was born. Even Huxley himself said "in the process of rewriting, as an older, other person, I should probably get rid not only of some of the faults of the story, but also of such merit as it originally possessed." These "merits" are what keeps a reader engrossed in the evolving story from the beginning to the climactic end. Inside this world, humans are not born, they are decanted. And during the growth period of the embryo, a person is injected with the chemicals it shall need in it's predestined life. Exactly how far the scientists have gone in predetermining a person's life is up to the reader to determine. Have they rendered the individual completely extinct? Follow the story as a newcomer learns of a world where no one is sad, and no one grows old. |
