为什么值得读

  • 构想了从出生就被分配阶级的工程化社会
  • 对未来社会阶层控制的预言极其精准深刻
  • 作为警世寓言展现了剥夺底层教育权利的恶果

这部最初出版于1932年的杰出文学作品,在今天比以往任何时候都更加关键且息息相关。克隆、致幻愉悦药物、抗衰老计划,以及通过政治、思想灌输和媒体实现的全面社会控制——Aldous Huxley是否准确预测了我们的未来?凭借故事大师的天赋,他将这些伦理争议融入一个引人入胜的叙事之中,故事始于神明福特纪元(AF, After Ford)632年。当Lenina和Bernard造访野蛮人保留地时,我们体会到了Utopia如何摧毁人性。这是一部令人着迷又心生恐惧的震撼speculative fiction作品……

Hacker News 上怎么说

  • 我也不想当那种什么都要杠一下的杠精,但我还是得说。我是赫胥黎和《美丽新世界》的死忠粉,但他设想的“唆麻”(Soma)其实真算不上多有前瞻性。人类使用药物的历史和人类本身一样悠久,因为自打有人类以来,大家就一直在想办法排解生活中的压力。如果你……

    I hate to be That Guy Who Argues With Everything, but I will. I'm a big fan of Huxley and Brave New World, but he wasn't particularly visionary with Soma. Drug use goes back as far as humankind does because people have been trying to cope with the stress of life since there have been people. If you're…

  • 这种看待社会的视角非常精英主义且狭隘。它主张保留一个没受过教育的下层阶级,让他们毫无手段去改善境况或进行反抗。《美丽新世界》是一本能让人明白这为什么是个馊主意的好书。现在看来,奥威尔和赫胥黎的书倒像是被当成了操作指南,而不是它们本应扮演的警世通言。

    This is a very elitist and narrow way to look at society. It advocates to have an uneducated underclass that would not have the tools to improve or protest their situation. Brave New World is a good book to understand why this is a bad idea. It seems that Orwell and Huxley books are being used as manuals instead of the cautionary tale that they are.

  • 四本预言神准的科幻书:* 儒勒·凡尔纳的《二十世纪的巴黎》* 阿道司·赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》* 乔治·奥威尔的《1984》* 弗雷德里克·波尔与西里尔·M·康布鲁斯的《太空商人》(1952)。凡尔纳准确预言了诸多技术以及它们给社会带来的变革。……

    Four Sci-Fi books that get projections right: * 'Paris in the Twentieth Century' by Jules Verne * 'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley * '1984' by George Orwell * 'The Space Merchants' by Frederik Pohl and Cyril M. Kornbluth (1952) Verne predicts correctly many technologies and changes they cause in the society.…

  • 我很确定原因有两点:1. 读过《1984》的人比读过《美丽新世界》的人多。2. 《美丽新世界》准得离谱,以至于大多数人根本不敢去细想这意味着什么。我们一边恐惧着《1984》,一边却生活在(很大程度上,唯一真正的区别在于我们没有……

    I'm pretty sure it is because of two reasons: 1. More people have read 1984 than have read Brave New World. 2. Brave New World is so ridiculously accurate that most people are too afraid to think about what this means. We fear 1984 while living (for the most part, the only real difference is that we don't…

  • ……戴夫·艾格斯的《圆环》。这本挺吓人的。讲的是一家虚构的巨头公司(像是 Facebook、Google 和 Amazon 的合体),描绘的可能是不远的未来。如果你喜欢《黑镜》(Black Mirror),你一定会喜欢这本。- 阿道司·赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》。经典小说,对人工干预的工程化社会有着有趣的思考,在那个社会里,每个人从出生起就被分配好了阶级、社会职能和特质。- 《孵化Twitter:一个真实的商业故事……

    …Circle by Dave Eggers. This one was scary. About imaginary corporation (a blend of Facebook and Google and Amazon) and probably not too distant future. If you liked Black Mirrors, you will love this. - Brave New World by Huxley, Aldous. Classic novel with interesting thoughts about engineered society, where every human is assigned class, purpose in the society and feature at birth. - Hatching Twitter: A True Story…
