April '05 Book: Brave New World

Brave New World quiz: http://www.online-literature.com/forums/quiz.php?

Brave New World remains a remarkable tale to me because it becomes more accurate as time passes. The unthinking masses (books and they knowledge they posses are irrelevant) live before a video screen, adoring their leader and reviling their enemy. The notion of such groupthink still gives me the creeps.

I wrote about this book recently in my blog.

I missed the timing of the original discussion thread, but I found the remarks very interesting :)

"Brave New World" is a cool book-very international. I found a copy of it in Italian in Venice, Italy on my last trip there.I don't think John tried to kill Lenina-he just rejected her because he wanted to have a relationship with her in a different way.
