BRAVE NEW WORLD (I)

This novel is "trippy" to say the least, however most of what Huxley manages to reveal relates to the modern world we live in today.  Huxley believed that those who understand the harsh realities of life will not lead such a tainted life, therefore the novel itself becomes quite conflicting from what is directly said and what Huxley wants the reader to deduce.  I found that the use of "Soma", a drug that provides similar results to that of extacy, represents technology in today's world.  We are overwhelmingly influenced by the internet and technology that what Huxley describes in Brave New World  conveys certain forthcoming appeal.  This novel has truly sparked a great interest in me and I hope that my level of interest stays consistent throughout the entire novel.
