The society in the novel is crazy wierd. Everything is planned, and no can be an individual, everyone is one, everyone is the same in one class. People are programmed, kids are programmed! Why would anybody in their right mind do that, seriously?! Books are bad, flowers are bad, come on! Nature and reading are freaking awesome! Why would you want to have people not like those things, little kids not liking those things, wtf! Electricuting babies! The only progress that they have is that they consume more, they have to buy a lot of things to play or do pretty much anything. I think Huxley is trying to say...I don't know, honestly, I have read waaayyy past where we had to, and I don't really know yet. I think I will have to read the whole thing. In 1984 the government is against the people, and in this book, the government seems like it is trying to help people, in a wierd way it works in some aspects. I think he is writing what he thinks society should be, or he is showing us what society might end up being, one way he is with it, or the other he isn't. I am not sure if so far the book is a relative critique of our society. I think he may be writing what he thinks society will be. I don't know yet, I will have finish reading the whole book and think more about it. I think it might be if things were more controlled, things are that controlled now, ie: the teabagger, haha, they had no clue what they were talking about!
Okay back to the book: what about the whole a.f thing. WTF! Whenever anybody in the book talks about Ford, they use his name as though he is God, they have replaced his name with God's, ie: "our Ford" instead of out God. Wierd!
Also, why must everyone, I mean everyone be promiscuous? It is bad if toddlers aren't going around playing "games" with each other (i don't know what they call it, i am calling it games here).
This book is well wierd, but on another level I think i like it, i don't know why, but it is wierd, and it makes me think about societies and how different they can be.
