Well, this is the book we're supposed to read for English lessons next year. Considering the time in which this book was written (1931),  i think Aldous Huxley did a really good job in predicting stuff in the future. The perfect world described in the book is well... not perfect at all. I didn't like the characters and the way they behaved but considering that this book brought up strong emotions (of repulsion) in me, I'd give it to the author. 4/5 stars.

The main characters of the book are Lenina, Bernard and John (The Savage). So basically in this new world, people no longer have mothers and fathers. Yeah, they're made outside the human body and conditioned. Depending on the caste they are in, they're given different conditioning. Everyone is conditioned to be thankful for what they are, even people of the lower caste. Everything is stable because the world is so controlled. No wars, no major disputes, no unhappiness through the use of soma (it's like a drug) that temporarily takes away your pain.

I thought the book brought up a really good theme. The avoidance of problems. In Brave New World, whenever a character faced a problem, they would resort to consuming soma to forget about their problems. It's like drinking beer, except that the people seem so reliant on it. At the slightest problem, they'd take the soma. The lower caste workers even queue up to receive a daily dosage of their soma. Makes me feel as if the whole world were addicted to it. Sure, you won't feel unhappy for a while. But you've got to face the problem anyway. It's just a matter of now or later. 

People in the new world are not encouraged to form bonds with other people. Everyone's on talking terms but there's no love in the air, be it family or friends. There's almost no emotion. People are just happy happy happy all day. No anger, no jealousy, no sadness. It is good on one hand to reduce negative emotions, but to this extreme end? No. This makes the characters dehumanised, like they're merely robots without individual expression. Definitely NOT healthy.
