It is scary how a book written in the 1930s could describe exactly our society today. We are not really far from it, if you disregard the all-babies-from-bottles aspect. I think we are still newcomers to this kind of reproduction approach. But the values that this "Brave New world" hypnoses are just the very values that our society tries to implements upon its people. See how our children go to school to learn to be a productive citizens? One's value is placed upon one's capacity to buy things - the industrial society. And the savages live isolated on reservation? It's not so much about the Indiana but it's the people of the "undeveloped" countries. I can see the parallel comparison lines here. On the other hand, I just hate hate the characters in this book. I don't expect them to be heroic or such but they way they behave is unnerving. Those characters just remind me of my hating feelings toward the main character when reading the Kite Runner.
