Life changes people and sometimes it just takes time to see those effects. Even if that weren’t the case…
Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World contains, at its heart, a fundamental question that is a point of contention amongst readers: would it be more beneficial if we as a population strived to create a civilization that mirrors that of the society found in Brave New World?
