    In Tom Wolfe’s essay, “Digibabble, Fairy Dust, and the Human Anthill,” Wolfe utilizes his knowledge of sociobiology to explain the concepts of “convergence” and the “noosphere”, which are thought to be precursors to the World Wide Web, i.e., the Digital Universe. He found a specific interest in convergence. Wolfe states, “Thanks to technology, ‘the hitherto scattered” species Homo sapiens was being united by a single ‘nervous system for humanity,’ a ‘living membrane…a unified consciousness that would cover the earth” (4). Many (e.g., Pierre Teilhard de Chardin and Marshall Mcluhan) believed that the “global village” would eventually influence the evolution of man, and that the noosphere could allow the human mind to expand. Wolfe argues that…

    While reading Jon Krakauer’s book Into the Wild the reaction from people can differ from person to person on the death of Christopher McCandless and his journey into the Alaskan mountains. But these reactions are all based on personal experiences that are influenced by what has happened to someone in their own life. In our eyes we easily judge someone without knowing what they have gone through in their life or who they really are. We can analyze the way we perceive situations in our lives from person to person in comparison to John Berger’s essay Ways of Seeing. He explains how people interpret photographs and art he also analyzes how the observer visualizes things in their lives.…

    The world was not what it is now. It changed and evolved, to the best, some may say, but it seems that it’s only going to its doom. Everything, in the 21rst century, is made to be easy and many find this pleasurable. But this easily leads to laziness and laziness to uncountable misfortunes. In the novel, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, a plausible future for humanity is presented where technology, hollow, frenetic entertainment and instant gratification controls the life of the population.…

    Fantasizing a world where every worry, stress, and care disappears has been an ever present part of human existence throughout history. It may even be safe to say that a world where constant happiness is a reality and conflict is not, has been the ultimate goal of mankind since the beginning of time. Perhaps with the astounding speed of technological advancement this far-fetched dream of human beings may soon be a reality. However, in the persistent struggle to create such a perfect world, sacrifices are overlooked or even deemed non-existent, especially in literary works which glorify the ideals of an eternally content society. Yet in the novel Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, provides an alarming idea of what a perfect world could…

    From day one, humanity has depended on something to provide answers for the unexplainable or the unusual. Some greater being to serve, as if their only purpose on Earth was to serve. In “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, it is shown what happens when the government decides technology to be the “greater being” that humanity depends on. They gave people solace after the war, leaving behind the old world and creating a new one. A new stable and ‘civilized’ society where emotions barely exist, sex is a recreational activity and everyone is in a constant state of ‘ignorant bliss’.…

    Through deliberate selection of the medium of production, composers are able to offer and emphasise their own perspectives on politics. This is evident in Aldous Huxley’s dystopian prose-fiction novel, Brave New World (1932), and Bruce Dawe’s poem, ‘Enter Without So Much as Knocking’ (1959). Both texts capture the composers’ own political ideologies and caution readers of governments that abuse technology to manufacture a consumeristic, groupthink culture. Composer’s criticise government bodies which use science and technology to control citizens and engineer conformity. In Aldous Huxley’s cautionary tale, a significant event that highlights Huxley’s concerns for technological advancement is the tour with the “Director of Hatcheries” (DHC),…

    A motto is a motivational principle that drives one to achieve their own goal. It basically consists of short words that give a gigantic meaning to the person. In the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the society uses “Community, Identity, Stability” as their motto. I find that this motto is quite interesting because all those three words have similar rhymes at the end. There are several ways shown in the novel on how the society lives based on the motto.…

    Throughout all of history, discrimination has always existed in society, whether it is the poor against the rich, female against male or white against black. In the texts I have studied in class, the authors/directors have portrayed their views on the topic of discrimination. In my report I will analyse the overarching theme of “Discrimination will always be prevalent in society” present in my four texts and discuss the connections between them. My first two texts I studied were “Brave New World” written by Aldous Huxley, and “Gattaca” directed by Andrew Niccol. Both these texts show that “Discrimination is a part of human nature”…

    The novel begins off with this idea of a dystopian world where the society, known as the World State, is based on this motto of "Community, Identity, and Stability." The engineered people of this society follow these qualities to the fullest extent. The procedure of this is achieved and maintained by the community of the people, however, the motto is arguable in the novel. In the Brave New World by Aldous Huxley, the idea of community, identity, and stability in the World State is proven to be wrong by the experiences of characters and the attempts to achieve their so-called "happiness" in society. All of society in the Brave New World is based on this thought of coming together as a community.…
