Don't forget the fact that the savage is denied his ability to even mourn the rejection of nature down by the river, I believe (its been years since i've read it), because he has been swarmed by cameras and slick media men. An important parallel, i think. You cannot take a drunken piss on the side of a building anymore without a camera spoiling whatever spontaneous charm there may be, and immediately reduced to a living artifact. I sympathize deeply with the savage. Another good Huxley one is Ape and Essence. I really like his pathetic characters and dialogue. Anyway, Brave New World. A wonderful book that I need to revisit!
Very beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for watching. Glad you liked the book.
Yes, it really is a beautifully produced edition.
Indeed it is. Thanks Giger!
@@reamce In my opinion the book's cover is an Art Deco design... Popular at the time the book was first published.
Someone said that BNW is more reminiscent of our world than 1984.
That is my opinion as well. Thanks for watching.
I'd say Brave New World is also better than Fahrenheit 451.
