Rapid development of technology, Russian revolution, World War I, rapid development of psychology and medicine. A lot happened in the early parts of the 20th century, a lot that raised eyebrows towards the future. What does it hold inside for humankind? There were optimistic hope and then there was skepticism. Aldous Huxleys Brave New World probably belongs to the ladder approach.
Brave New World is a dystopian social science fiction novel that has developed to be a must read for everyone. It depicts a futuristic state where people have become voluntary slaves of dopamine and happiness. Life is nothing but comfort. But at what price? The whole structure of values has been turned upside down. Monogamy, god, loyalty, bravery, family, love, nobility, empathy and most importantly meaning seems to have lost their value and vanish. So we ask: what is a life of just happiness and what does it cost?
“But I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin.”
