Fascinating! It was a fun read to have the first person and then to have the author interject with supported documentation. It put a whole new spin on the Victorian Heroine.
This book, in dialectic with Orwell's 1984, with some cross-reference to Plato's cave allegory, is pretty much what I use to think about the impact and meaning of technological change. For me, the turning point was when I realized that the future Huxley describes isn't necessarily dystopian. The world could come to be like that, and its inhabitants wouldn't necessarily suffer any more than they do now. Life might be less meaningful, but... they wouldn't know any different, so how would they know? So what I learned is that the future isn't only about utopias and zombies, it's also just a matter of choices and preferences. Or something like that. History's written by those who wrote; lived by those who lived; written by those who live.
