BRAVE NEW WORLD exposes current political techniques
By Stephen the Martyr
Brave New World lets the reader experience what an ultimate Godless nanny-state entails (e.g. extrapolate Obamacare). In this world one can expect birth to death individual life planning, euthanasia, birth population control, erasing of the "real" past history, limited science progress due to regulatory over-control, a trading of TRUTH/BEAUTY for SECURITY/HAPPINESS, a multitude of sex/drug/entertainment distractions, and a separation of society into various pre-ordered elitists & serfdom classifications. DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR! I am glad I read this book to see how the ONE WORLD government politicians (Obama/Hillary) will use these effective conceptual techniques to achieve their total control.
The logic and conversations are very real. The science is futuristic but quite credible. The structure of the book is actually patterned similar to the Biblical book of Job (which is an ancient play itself). In other words, the characters proceed through their various Acts until near the end a character of total wisdom/control (God/Mustafa) appears in the final crisis to explain why life is what it is whether it is our real world or Huxley's Brave New World. The artistic structure works as an effective narrative communication tool.

On the “rez”… in New Mexico…
By John P. Jones III
Serendipity, and those unlikely threads connecting seemingly random events that inspire our reading habits. Remember the “Occupy Wall Street” movement? A brief flicker of resistance to the concentration of power in the existing social order. Quickly, and generally politely rolled up by those same forces of order. It was Amy Goodman’s NPR’s report, in 2011, on the “library” in Zoccotti Park, Lower Manhattan, and the mention of Brave New World Revisited that led me to re-read that classic from my ‘60’s reading. I found it amazingly prescient, and gave it 5-stars, plus. As for the original, first published in 1932, it was one of the first 20 books I had listed on my “have read” list, commencing in 1962. What pushed me to re-read Aldous Huxley’s original work was reading a reference to how much of the book was set in New Mexico, an enormous open-air reservation for “savages,” a fact that I had completely forgotten from the original read, back when I wasn’t really sure where the state was. Times have changed, as I have voluntarily (I think!) chosen to live in the “reservation.”
“Taos and Tesuque; over Nambe and Picuris and Pojoaque, over Zia and Cochiti, over Laguna and Acoma and Enchanted Mesa, over Zuni and Cibola and Ojo Caliente…” are all New Mexican place names mentioned by Huxley in one sentence; all so “exotic” and unknown to me in 1962, and now they are literally part of my landscape and reference frame. Why was New Mexico chosen, by this scion to a famous English family? Admittedly it is speculative on my part, and I would welcome comments, but Huxley associated with the Bloomsbury literary group and was a friend of D.H. Lawrence. Figure it was the Lawrence connection, whose remains are still vitrified, some 30 miles north of Taos that led Huxley to place a portion of his novel in this “exotic” location. I just finished reading David Robert’s The Pueblo Revolt: The Secret Rebellion That Drove the Spaniards Out of the Southwest which was led by a shaman from the San Juan pueblo, Popé. In Huxley’s novel, Linda, fresh from London, was left behind in New Mexico, would “go native,” and married a Popé.
Huxley’s novel is a dystopia, one of the two classic visions of the future, along with George Orwell’s 1984 that were de rigueur reading in the ‘60’s. Huxley’s vision was control through the “soft glove,” and, in general, seems to have been a truer insight that the brutal control depicted by Orwell. In “Brave New World” the family is obsolete. All children are “hatched,” that is, created in test tubes. Society’s objectives are stated on page 01: “Community, Identity, and Stability.” From birth, and even before, individuals are designated to a particular level in society; it is a rigid caste system. Drugs are the answer! Specifically “soma,” which seems to be modeled on mescal. The opioid addiction depicted in today’s headlines was foreshadowed by Huxley some 85 years ago. It is difficult to believe that Huxley, writing in the depths of the Great Depression, could have foreseen the mindless consumerism of today, and I smiled when reading the scene in which students are trained to have a horror of flowers and the open countryside since they are free, and would distract from the “duty” to consume, and help someone else “make a buck.”
In Huxley’s world, there were only two billion people. Overpopulation was a theme, somewhat, in BNW, but in “Revisited,” the author articulated his position with much more precision:
“Unsolved, that problem will render insoluble all our other problems. Worse, still, it will create conditions in which individual freedom and the social decencies of the democratic way of life will become impossible, almost unthinkable.” We are currently at seven billion, and the topic of overpopulation is largely ignored.
No question, Huxley was a visionary of the future problems of human society. In terms of his novel however, I felt that his characters were too wooden, and the action too contrived, including the ending. The reader, no doubt as intended, will identify with the outlier, Bernard Marx, who, rumor has it, had a bit too much alcohol poured into his test-tube when he was being “hatched.” Overall, I found the very straightforward exposition of society’s problems, including the promotion of politicians as well-marketed commodities, as set forth in “Revisited” to be the far better read. As for the original, 4-stars.

Historic Dystopia
By VA Duck
"Brave New World" is Huxley’s warning of future dystopia seen through the ‘spectacles’ of his 1931 perspective of the direction of society. Contemporaneous with Orwell’s “1984”, a somewhat similar scream of horror at an impending future: this must have been a time of low expectations for the political future given the specter of both communism and fascism gripping Europe and emerging elsewhere.
An Allegory in reverse (?) with Shakespeare's “The Tempest” - Huxley’s protagonist John ‘The Savage’ achieves knowledge and civility through reading a contraband copy of Shakespeare’s collected works. Even Huxley’s title is borrowed from Miranda’s line of “the Tempest”: “How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world”. In Shakespeare light prevails in Huxley, only darkness.
Huxley’s story was assessed by a critic of his time, “The fact is that Mr. Huxley does not really care for the story—the idea alone excites him.” The political future worked out better than it was projected by this novel which was warning rather than prediction Its ‘message’ is still clear and serious, though the story now seems dated and, as the quoted critic implies, a bit uneven in scope - it is only 188 pages. Still, the novel’s historic ‘importance’ makes it a must read.
