Whether author's "whining" is justified or not, his outlook is valuable because the break gave him a perspective that we lack while living in and through the change. I can imagine a person who went to jail before the rise of NSDAP and got out into the Nazi Germany could be horrified by the new world. All the while everybody around them is happy with the change because the world got clearer, simpler and with a lot fewer annoyances like freedom of speech and all the confusion it causes. Dismissing such an observer as an outcast who just doesn't get The Brave New World would be easy, convenient and very unwise.
