Narrated by Peter Firth
"Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian
World State. Here everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression,
babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of entertainment
is a "Feelie," a movie that stimulates the senses of sight, hearing, and
touch. Though there is no violence and everyone is provided for, Bernard
Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship with a young
women has the potential to be much more than the confines of their existence
allow. Huxley foreshadowed many of the practices and gadgets we take for
granted today - let's hope the sterility and absence of individuality he
predicted aren't yet to come.
