Brave new world.

Huxley, Aldous 1894-1963 (Author). Atwood, Margaret, 1939- (Added Author).

Summary: Far in the futurem the World COntrollers have created the ideal society.Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, all of its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone in feeling discontent. Harbouring an unnatural desire for solitude, and a perverse distaste for the pleasures of compulsory promiscuity, Marx has an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old imperfect life still continues, maybe the cure for his distress.
