Brave New World

This book is a very enjoyable and thought provoking read.While many modern distopean books seem to take place in a sort of hostile and predgidist society that would never actually exist, this book actually deals with in a way a much more solemn message. In the book, human reproduction has been eliminated, and babies are born from huge mechanized factories. There are four or five distinct classes of people, and although they are by no means equal, each person is conditioned to be totally satisfied with their life. They work hard all day,and when it becomes to much for them, they go on a vacation where they are drugged to rejuvenate them. People die at around sixty, and that is fine, because no one really fears death. In a world where families don't exist, there is no one to mourn the departed. Sex has become a regular rutine, and is encouraged from an early age as a fun recreational activity. the thing about this whole society is that everyone is happy, everyone is nice to each other, and the only person who sees any problem with anything is an eccentric psychologist named Bernard. In this way, the book has far more credibility than other modern alternatives.
