    Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is about a dystopian world 500 years in the future. All of humanity is controlled by an authoritarian regime that uses genetic engineering, pharmaceuticals, global social conditioning, oppressive thought control, propaganda, and more to keep people in line. The stability this produces carries a terrible cost in human individuality and happiness. However, despite the best efforts of the world state, the book's protagonists discover that human discontent cannot be stifled completely.

    This channel has been my lifeline. Almost every book I’ve had to read in school has a summary here, and it’s helped immensely with understanding the books better for tests and projects.

      @@stevenkoja5 I'm heading into chapter 4 right now and am surprised how technical this book is so far! And sadly, there are parts of it that ring true to this day. The chastising of other people because of some morality you possess, but that isn't just yours but some groupthink given to you. Now we have algorithms that make internet bubbles that contain us, and now we have lots of infighting, but still a very relevant aspect of the book.

      Thankfully I love stories filled with details, worldbuilding and lore. But I have to admit, I am only reading this book now and am on chapter 4, the first 3 chapters are filled with technical stuff. Huxley masterfully weaves parallel storylines together, shows us how characters act and react through the lens of their technical lives. For me he us successfully disguising character development as exposition. I would understand, however, how it might not be everyone's cup of tea. Before you get a feel for the way characters are, it may seem a bit dry indeed
