Un mundo feliz

4.6

I truly struggled with this book and I don’t think it gets anywhere truly interesting until the final 50ish pages. Maybe I went into Brave New World with an expectation of what it should be given it has been sold as the most accurate dystopian novel of the early 1900s rather than taking it for what it is. I agree with its points about life needing its ups and downs to be worth living and that rebellion against the system will be absorbed into the system and exploited, especially under capitalism, but it took the longest path to get to those points. Reading and finishing Brave New World gave me the understanding for why I was unable to read Doors of Perception. I don’t think I care all that much for Huxley’s writing style.
