Brave New 1984
Jun. 21st, 2008 12:22 pmFinished reading Brave New World and I must say I was rather disappointed. I can overlook and forgive the limited understanding of technology and ecology. The book was written in 1930 after all, and for a book that has WWII, the atomic age, and the computer between it and us, there's quite a bit that he got pretty close. There are parts of this country where Ford is a religion and more generally speaking, brands and corporations have in many ways ascended to the power of gods.
