I'm talking about Huxley's most famous work, Brave New World. I sounds like you haven't read it. I really suggest that you do, it is a fantastic, albeit frighteningly accurate (seriously drug companies, soma? you named your anti-anxiety medication SOMA!?!?), peak into the future.
- Alex3917 17y ago"seriously drug companies, soma? you named your anti-anxiety medication SOMA!?!?" You do realize the name doesn't come from Brave New World right?
- blhack 17y agoThe drug does almost exactly the same thing as the one in the book. I cannot imagine that this was done just out of pure, random chance.
- sho 17y agoI've read it, but I don't agree with your interpretation. The society in the book discourages love and attachment - this isn't love, it's just cheap entertainment. It's "Your Favourite Childhood Stars - Where Are They Now?" with a paper thin excuse. Admit it, if the girl wasn't a cute, white cherub no-one would care.
