Brave New World – Aldous Huxley

I reacted to this book like I reacted to 1984: I am glad I’ve read it, but that’s pretty much about it. Dystopia is probably just a bit too grim for me, in particular if you add ideas about noble savages etc. At the end of the day I probably just tend to believe that the human race isn’t going to end as badly as many writers have foreseen (at least, not in the relatively short run) and that life in the wilderness and far away from “civilization” isn’t that idyllic either. That said, I do have a very low opinion of mankind. And, much like for 1984, I’ve got nothing left to add...
