Brave New World & Brave New World Revisited

Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley, copyright 1932 & 1946

Very ridiculous book about all babies produced in a factory, no marriages at all with everyone doing whatever and with anyone, and all people divided into 7 classes from A to G.  Class A the most intelligent and class G the most dumb. The world Ford instead of Lord or Christ throughout the book.  Ford = Henry Ford maker of Ford autos.

Brave New World Revisited
by Aldous Huxley, copyright 1958

Various chapters in the first book are analyzed showing little movement of the world toward those practices.  In the final two chapters suggestions are written regarding action and practice in the future: Education for Freedom and What Can be Done"

Completed reading both books on 5/15/2017.
