"Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's
utopian World State. Here everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight
depression, babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of
entertainment is a "Feelie," a movie that stimulates the senses
of sight, hearing, and touch. Though there is no violence and everyone is
provided for, Bernard Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship
with a young women has the potential to be much more than the confines of
their existence allow. Huxley foreshadowed many of the practices and gadgets
we take for granted today--let's hope the sterility and absence of individuality
he predicted aren't yet to come.
