	A towering classic of dystopian satire, BRAVE NEW WORLD is a brilliant and terrifying vision of a soulless society—and of one man who discovers the human costs of mindless conformity. Hundreds of years in the future, the World Controllers have created an ideal civilization. Its members, shaped by genetic engineering and behavioral conditioning, are productive and content in roles they have been assigned at conception. Government-sanctioned drugs and recreational sex ensure that everyone is a happy, unquestioning consumer; messy emotions have been anesthetized and private attachments are considered obscene. Only Bernard Marx is discontented, developing an unnatural desire for solitude and a distaste for compulsory promiscuity. When he brings back a young man from one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old unenlightened ways still continue, he unleashes a dramatic clash of cultures that will force him to consider whether freedom, dignity, and individuality are worth suffering for. Aldous Huxley’s ingenious fantasy of a future of mechanical efficiency and engineered harmony has been enormously influential for generations, and is as provocative, powerful, and riveting as when it was first published in 1932.

		+	== Der Weltstaat ==
		+
		+	In seinem Roman beschreibt Huxley eine Welt, in der es gelungen ist, mit
		+	>>> Hilfe künstlicher Fortpflanzung, Konditionierung und Indoktrination eine
		+	>>> perfekt funktionierende Gesellschaft zu erschaffen. Das Jahr 1 jener Welt
		+	>>> entspricht dem Jahr 1908 unserer Zeitrechnung, in dem das Model T von Henry
		+	>>> Ford erstmals vom Band lief. Im Jahre 141 A.F. (after Ford = nach Ford),
		+	>>> also im Jahr 2049 n. Chr., brach ein neun Jahre dauernder Krieg aus, in dem
		+	>>> chemische und biologische Massenvernichtungswaffen eingesetzt wurden. Danach
		+	>>> folgte ein weltweiter wirtschaftlicher Kollaps. Die damaligen Regierungen
		+	>>> bildeten deshalb eine Weltregierung und versuchten, eine Konsumideologie in
		+	>>> der Bevölkerung durchzusetzen. Damit trafen sie aber in Teilen der
		+	>>> Bevölkerung auf Widerstand, der auch nicht mit Gewalt kontrolliert werden
		+	>>> konnte. Die Weltregierung beschloss daher eine langfristige friedliche
		+	>>> Reformation. Um eine fortwährend glückliche und wohlhabende Gemeinschaft zu
		+	>>> schaffen, wurde Propaganda gegen die natürliche Fortpflanzung gemacht und
		+	>>> die ersten Brut- und Aufzuchtzentren geschaffen. Diese Kampagne beinhaltete
		+	>>> auch das Schließen sämtlicher Museen, die Zerstörung aller Denkmäler und das
		+	>>> Verbot aller vor dem Jahr 150 A.F. verfassten Bücher. Der Roman spielt im
		+	>>> Jahr 632 A.F., zu einer Zeit, in der sich der Weltstaat vollständig
		+	>>> etabliert hat und fast alle Menschen auf der Erde unter seiner Kontrolle
		+	>>> stehen. Es herrscht ein totalitäres, jedoch nicht gewalttätiges politisches
		+	>>> System. Ein Relikt der alten "primitiven" Kultur wird in einem kleinen
		+	>>> isolierten Reservat von der Weltregierung geduldet. Die Menschen im Reservat
		+	>>> leben in einer traditionellen Stammeskultur, die natürliche Lebensvorgänge
		+	>>> wie Geburt, Krankheit und Altern einschließt.

		+	"The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age; they're plagued with no mothers or fathers; they've got no wives, or children, or lovers to feel strongly about; they're so conditioned that they practically can't help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there's soma."
