"Brave New World" was the worst novel I've ever had to read. It was either that, Pride and Prejudice or The Color Purple, and when I found out that Brave New World was sci-fi I decided it would be relevant to my interests. It was LITERALLY nothing but people taking opium pills and having orgies, and people were grown in big jars (yes, jars, not stasis tanks)because natural birth was seen as obsolete and disgusting, and their oxygen supply was limited to control their intelligence and body type. Little kids were allowed to walk around naked and screw each other, and what pissed me off is that their 'caretakers' would be like "Now run along little Sue and Jimmy, go back to your erotic play" (I can't make this up). Babies were also electrocuted as a way of conditioning them to fear certain things (for example, to teach future mine workers to fear grass and flowers so they'd stay underground). It was extremely long and boring, had WAY to much sex, and the main character just ends up hanging himself after an opium induced orgy at the end of the book.[/quote]
You're missing the whole point of Brave New World. The idea was to mock the idea of utopia by portraying a society in which everybody is happy. In doing so, the government took to more oppressive and controlling measures and humanity is a slave to their baser instincts.
