    BNW Connection to Today

    Hi,

    I'm writing an essay to compare/contrast Brave New World to society today. I can talk about any topic within the book, but I'm not sure what to focus on. I was thinking maybe our consumer society and how people have "wants" and not "needs" and how that is relevant to the World State people wanting Soma all the time. Any suggestions?? Thanks!

    I suggest starting a trawl through threads on the Aldous Huxley front page - we've discussed the subject recently.

    This thread has what you're after, and go ahead from there.
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."
