The year 2532 AD is a new world with highly developed science and technology: there are no worries about material scarcity, no worries about aging and decadence, no boredom from tedious work, no pressure to raise children, no restrictions on marriage and sexual morality, no restrictions on drug abuse, and no suffocation of political pressure... It seems to be the "Utopia" and "Utopia" that humans have always longed for and yearned for infinitely. However, in this "brave new world", people have lost their personal emotions - mom and dad are humiliating words, they have lost love - sex has replaced love, they have lost pain, passion and the feeling of experiencing danger - 1 gram of soma can bring happiness. What is even more frightening is that people have lost the right to think and the ability to create... Past, present and future, all human worries about themselves and the future are contained in them.

I think many people may feel like savages. They know what to do but do nothing. They think that the dirty and hedonistic outside world should not affect them. They seem to be independent but are still defeated by themselves.
The plot seems to be unreal and exaggerated, but it makes people think deeply. The social division of labor created by artificial embryos is only to maintain happiness without self, which is close to the desires of real society. We have forgotten our self, ourselves, and are immersed in money and role games, painful and empty. Who am I, what is life, and what do I want to do with this life during its existence?
It shows the appearance of a "perfect society", but I feel that the portrayal of human nature is flawed, perhaps due to the influence of the former.
It is a utopia, but it cannot be an absolute utopia.
What is a person? Is desire our answer?
Except for the repetition of chapters in the last chapter, the rest of the experience was good. The beginning of this work is a bit like "The Three-Body Problem". There are too many professional words, which gave me a feeling that it was too hard to chew. But later on, the clues became more and more obvious, and the main characters also appeared. While watching it, I kept having mixed emotions, and the absurd descriptions are also a reflection of today's society. Overall, this is a good work and worth reading carefully!
Classic, simple, classic
The philosophy that has always influenced me throughout my life
I finally finished it the first time! Because I don't read in detail, I'm embarrassed to talk in general terms... I'll leave a little comment and I'll write a book review later hehe
