About This Novel
In the 26th century AD, in a "new world", almost everyone lived in cities and spoke the same language. Before these people were born, they were preset into several castes: noble, low, and unworthy, and were produced in batches in industrialized nurseries. Under the rule of utopian totalitarians, the new society is "settled, responsible, and stable." Those who occasionally doubt the status quo or have a rebellious mentality are regarded as unstable factors and exiled to remote areas. There, everyone lives and works in peace and contentment, and has no worries about food and clothing, but family, personality, and even joy, anger, sorrow, and joy have all disappeared...

Although I feel safe in frame, I really want to be free.
My signature used to be "I really want to be free, but the frame is so safe." For disadvantaged individuals, this is basically all my thoughts while working. 1. About the media. When I was in primary school, I often thought, if society needs us to be educated so much, why not turn the advertisements repeated over and over again on TV into ancient poems or texts, so that people on the streets and alleys, whether they go to class or not, can be full of poems, and we don't have to struggle to memorize them. It is simply a matter of killing multiple birds with one stone. Later I learned that it is not public welfare that drives media communication, but profit. 2. About sleep. When I was a child, I was frightened by rats. I had a high fever for several days and had no other symptoms. Later, my mother heard it from someone who didn't know where she came from. She whispered in my ear while I was sleeping, "The rats have run away and will not come back." I was woken up and said, "Mom, I know." My mother said, "You can sleep on your own and just listen." The next day, my fever went away. Can this be considered a personal experience of receiving information in light sleep? 3. About civilization. In recent years, I have always felt compassion for mankind, and I feel that since the beginning of rice cultivation, mankind has been pushing itself into the abyss step by step. Technological progress and industrial division of labor have led to rapid improvements in economic efficiency, but have made humans increasingly burdened by it. For example, the express delivery profession solves the so-called last mile, which is actually something that cannot be completed by standardized procedures. It needs to be handled by people, but without considering human characteristics, it requires the standardized process to be completed at the speed of a machine. It is miserable or not. It's pretty miserable with or without financial compensation. We ourselves are the same. Under the cloak of technology, compared with workers on the assembly line, it seems that we are doing "meaningful" things. It seems that we choose it ourselves. It seems that we can make progress and improvement as long as we work hard, but in fact, the relationship between the improvement of organizational efficiency and personal happiness is very weak. We just accept the settings of society and move forward in the direction of the program. In other words, this kind of recognition and progress is only a reflection of organizational efficiency. The measurement standard of survival of the fittest can be labeled as our social value, but it cannot reflect our own meaning. It is very dangerous to equate the two. Because the lack of one person in the organization will not affect the whole, but in turn may lead to the collapse of the individual's life. So, don't be optimistic and think that you are the superior Alpha and love slavery easily. In the building, we are all identical creatures with turned-up nostrils and stupid stupidity. In the same way, don't forget your desire to seek the truth just because of food, clothing and comfort. Because there is still freedom in the world.
The life of people in the New World is customized by rules. No one can escape. On the contrary, people who are considered barbarians have their own thoughts. This has made me reflect on what civilization is. Everyone, push me up
I haven't started watching yet, grab a seat
1984 wrote all about the old world, but we live in new China😳😳 (funny)
Finished reading
Suddenly I want to review Psychometrician
Compared to Big Brother in 1984, humans are more likely to be dominated by the "happiness" of Brave New World
Li Haoshuai's Golden House
Your 1984 will eventually pass, and my brave new world will come.
Good review!
This book made my hair stand on end. In the world described in this book, a person's destiny is determined at birth. Looking at the "wonderful" world, there is an unnoticeable darkness behind it. The class system here is stronger than the Indian caste system and cannot be resisted at all. The human society here is more like a society of robots. People who are "mass-produced" forcibly change their personalities and interests before they are born...
A world without individuals, a world that cannot think, is hopelessly beautiful.
Beautiful new country
You don't belong to yourself any more than what belongs to you
Every era has its own conditions and settings. The civilizational happiness of the Brave New World is sad, and the art of barbarians is pitiful. He is not living under his own settings. There is no superiority or inferiority. It is just the wishful thinking of your inner world.
