Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through the clever mix of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, everyone is a happy consumer. Bernard Marx seems alone in his discontent.</p>
Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop, 1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22nd November 1963.
突然意识到某些方面几乎就要实现了……赶紧改个分。
评分这的确是个全新的世界,但它“美丽”吗?带有痛苦的自由和被操控了的绝对幸福你选哪个?反乌托邦这个概念其实很难定义,我们现在对“好”与“坏”的认知取决于我们所生活的社会环境,所受的教育。但如果我们不是当下社会的一员,而出生成长在那个所谓的“美丽新世界”里,或许反乌托邦真的就是乌托邦,一切都挺美丽的。
评分近期最佳阅读体验。前半部是Huxley的带刺嘲讽,越炫目越可笑。Hypnopaedia、Ford、Bokanovskified、soma、pneumatic,这些词注定与aeon共存。这是Comfortably Numb的世界。最有深意的是对亲人关系的解构,对“一个人独有”的嘲弄。到Savage Reservation之后,开始看到转机,看到“Dictator”的没落-- 颠覆了颠覆,看到Bernard的Vicissitude(悲哀的人性,容易被侵蚀的灵魂),看到Lenina动人外貌下的无知浅薄,(Impudent Strumpet!最残酷的还是John难以控制的情感与贞洁的较量)。一个奇怪的设定是Mustafa的“人格分裂”。结尾的鞭打是高潮,革命还是没有发生。难过,泪崩。
评分“Every change is a threat to stability.”
评分通宵看完!为什么标签里有高中!!!!!!!!
阿道司.赫胥黎在其经典著作《重返美丽新世界》的结尾里,简要地描述了实施“关于自由的教育”的必要性。或许由于赫胥黎对未来持悲观看法,这一终章给人的感觉是:自由价值的失败不可避免,其捍卫者所能做的,仅仅是拖延失败的来临,以及以“平静的良心”(欧里庇得斯语)拒绝在...
评分英剧《黑镜》中就刻画的是这个美妙的新世界。人们穿着相同的衣服,生活在高科技的虚拟房间里,每天通过踩单车换取点数,除了踩单车外,人们就只呆在房间里,用虚拟货币收看电视,更换自己的虚拟形象,这简直就是《娱乐至死》和《美妙新世界》的结合体。 回到《美妙新世...

评分首先说,看这本书来自neil.postman的《娱乐至死》,后来才知道其与奥威尔的《1984》,扎米亚京的《我们》并称为反乌托邦三部曲,在postman看来《美丽新世界》和《1984》描绘的是两个相反的未来,而在读过此书后,我觉得这种相反反而只是表面上的。内在来看,他们描绘的都是又精...
评分看完这本书我是无比的悲哀。之所以悲哀是因为我认同这个可怕的乌托帮,我也无比坚定的相信我们的世界正在向那个方向发展。身在世界上最先进最富有的国家,这种感受尤为强烈。电视节目的完全娱乐化,每一个人群都有麻醉自己的节目;所有的声音都告诉你,你应该满足于现在这样的...
