This book presents one of the truest argument against the human progress. I've seen several criticisms of this text and most of them revolve around how hellish this seeming utopia is, and several have termed this social condition as "the painless holocaust" often juxtaposed with Orwell's 1984 as two different sides of a same dystopian coin, but have they asked themselves what are they striving for in their lives? Happiness? Stability? Peace? Comfort? Sensual-Gratification? Then welcome to The Real Brave New World!

Okay, when a reader starts reading this book and if the person isn't already conditioned to expect the society in it to be a dystopia, the society actually seems a utopia, isn't it? isn't it what we are seeking every day? Isn't it what the media and constitution are fantasizing about thrice a day? Of course, there's this genetic engineering and anti-vivaporousism which we're not ready for, but isn't much of the population tired with monogamy? Aren't people getting a bit more disillusioned with love affairs as time passes? Isn't sex without a tedious process of love a thing? Thus, even the concept of easy-sex seems inevitably quite strived for. So this initial reckoning is quite similar to what John Savage vicariously hears about this brave new world from his mother's tales.

There are some basic factors in human beings which tend to the brave new world: i) heavy reliance on technology to solve a problem ii) growing disobedience iii) competency over resources and exploitation. With the advent of that there's a huge social unrest and an over-organized control seems the only solution. Henceforth, neo-pavlovian conditioning to accept their social rules, however, John Savage too was conditioned by Indians to have an unshattering faith in God and believe polyamory to be sinful. So the story juxtaposes both the sides of civilization and savagery but philosophically it remains evident that none of the extremity is beneficial but both in some aspects is consistent in our lives.

Afterall, on an objective retrospection, this tale seems almost an ambiguous utopia: however, the brainwashing and orthodoxy makes it a kind of dystopia but anyhow what is true for an individual may not be true for the masses. But personally, untill I'm able to gain access to literature like this and surreal-mystical experiences, I know that at least I am not the part of a personal dystopia.
