Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) romaan "Hea uus ilm" on XX sajandi ühe fantaasiarikkaima kirjaniku tulevikunägemus totalitaarsest olmeparadiisist. Romaani sündmustik leiab aset utoopilises riigis, kus eesmärgiks on inimeste õnn. Õnne säilitamise huvides loobutakse kõigest, mis sünnitaks sügavamaid mõtteid või tundeid ning ohustaks seeläbi riigi stabiilsust ning seega samastub õnnelik olemine selles riigis vabaduse täieliku puudumisega.

Read in and for English class in school. Would likely not have read it on an other occasion, although the themes and things discussed are thought provoking, I didn't really enjoy the book.

I guess it might be the point of the book, but I couldn't feel that any character was real, everything felt stereotypical; while at the same time that "prediction" of the future does not seem plausible to me.
And I repeat, it might be the point of the book, so, if that is the case, then great job. I just did not enjoy it or gained any interesting insight.

Read this immediately afte reading the Orwell classic, 1984. I admit, I struggled reading this book. The method of story telling, with the switching of character perspective was difficult to follow. The idea of the book became far more clearer as the book progressed and became clear especially towards the end.
However the ideas presented in the book and their demonstration was thought provoking.
