  The book from the future

  I just read this book about 5 years ago. It's really dark , and if it happens in the future, I wouldn't like to be there. If you like the 1984 from Orwell, you will like this book too.

• Read this right after reading 1984 coz I remembered my English teacher telling me that I should read both.
  Another classic that everyone should read.

  Civilization has created a Utopia. With the intake of Soma people are calm, and care free. There is no longer such a thing as a family. Babes are not born to Mothers and Fathers but created in test-tubes in a factory and belong to everyone. When Bernard, a sleep hypnotic professional, decides to visit the savage reservations in New Mexico, he discoveries two savages that do not belong. A woman who Bernard discoveries as a woman from civilization that became lost years ago and found herself stuck in the savage reserve. The woman gave birth to a boy while in the reserve, John. Bernard takes both of the people from the reserve back into civilization. The rest of the book is about how John does not understand the ways of civilized life and civilization does not understand John yet they are fascinated with him.

  The book starts out kind of slow. Once the main characters emerge, the book begins to pick up. It slows down again once the Savage is brought back to civilization. And again, Picks up once the Savage is transferred to an island.

  oh my ford, another wonderful dystopia book. as good as the handmaid's tale. it's scary to think that we are kind of heading in that direction. Conditioning our young through national education in schools... the people sacrificing freedom of speech and action for peace, order and harmony. the allocation of resources and welfare of the people controlled by an elite ruling few. Funny how Huxley knew to mention Singapore when he wrote this way by in the 1930s.
