Summary: might be the worst book ever written
Review: huxley's brave new world is a story about the future world and how messed up it will be. 'civilization', as it is called in the novel, is all about sacrificing art, love, and beauty for artificial happiness.
the plot was slow to pick up from the start [and, actually, it never did pick up] and very confusing. it was also a very dirty book and a dark portrayal of the future world. in the novel, all humans are created in embryo factories, babies are hypnotized and given electric shocks, chilren are taught erotic play, and everyone is constantly high on a drug named soma. the book's vivid descriptions of sex, drugs, and violence really make you wonder what kind of man huxley was.
aside from my personal prejudices, the story itself was pretty lame in that NOTHING HAPPENED. what huxley provided us with was a 300-page description of the "future".
not much of a satire and not very witty either.
