title: Brave New World
author:  Aldous Huxley 
description: &quot;Community, Identity, Stability&quot; 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 &quot;Feelie,&quot; 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.

  CONDITIONING 
   CENTRE,  and, in  a shield,  the World State's  motto, COMMUNITY, 
   IDENTITY, STABILITY. 
   
   The enormous  room on  the ground floor faced  towards the north. 
   Cold for  all the summer  beyond the panes, for  all the tropical 
   heat of  the room itself,  a harsh thin light  glared through the 
   windows,  hungrily seeking  some draped  lay figure,  some pallid 
   shape  of academic  goose-flesh, but  finding only the  glass and 
   nickel and bleakly shining  porcelain of a laboratory. Wintriness 
   responded to wintriness. The  overalls of the workers were white, 
   their hands gloved with  a pale corpse-coloured rubber. The light 
   was frozen,  dead, a ghost.  Only from the yellow  barrel
