Forming "Brave New World" Topic

       Alrighty then, that sure was a happy book huh? Well time to move on then. In my Brave New World essay I want to connect the present day world to the novel and try to discuss how Aldous Huxley predicted some aspects of the future; similar to our 1984 essays in which we had to also connect the novel to the present. I want to say that Brave New World is the direction the world may have actually been headed toward. I want to use primarily as my examples in my argument for the present are Neil Postman's From Technocracy to Technopoly, Sir Ken Robinson's youtube video, and both Brave New World Revisited and a letter to the author George Orwell from Aldous Huxley. Neil Postman's writing describes like the title says our turn from a Technocracy to a Technopoly and will definitely help go over the history Huxley might have been working upon and the efficiency is always being headed towards even to the extremes. I would use the Robinson video as a way to discuss the present day parallels to Brave New World especially that of the educational system and that restriction on curiosity and intrigue. And finally I will use Brave New World Revisited by Huxley to describe what he was doing when he wrote it, some points that he tried to make, and gain an insight into the mind of this writer and hopefully help the stance that I am taking. I also wanted to use Huxley's letter to Orwell because within it Huxley describes his own piece of writing while also complimenting and discussing 1984 which I think is both intriguing and helpful in content. Overall I think these sources will help make a really intriguing essay. Hopefully though I may do a little more research and draw on some more sources preferably on the bio-medicine aspect of the novel. However, I think the choices that have been chosen will suffice and still stay on topic.
