63 yrs ago Aldous Huxley wrote ‘Brave New World‘. The book is a frightening vision of a future society known as the ‘World State‘ ruled by science and efficiency, where emotions and individuality have been eradicated and personal relationships are few and far between.
When Mr. Huxley wrote the book, optimism about technological advancements were high and there was the belief that technology would solve many of the world’s problems.
‘Brave New World‘ demonstrates the naiveté of those hopes by showing what can happen when technology is taken to its extreme
