Reddit reviews Brave New World

All the one star reviews are priceless

Ooooh, just one? Just a mention that I am atheist, though none of these are really directly in favor of atheism :)

Alright I hope you get this. Sounds like you are a lot like I was growing up. I would read a book a week and listen to two. haha. these were books i had to grow into a lot of times. so don't get discouraged. some of these are tough but they'll help you in the long run. promise.

anyways.. here's my list.

Foreign Policy

-Dying to Win- Science and strategy behind suicide terrorism

-Imperial Hubris- good book by a CIA vet on what to expect because of US foreign policy

-Blowback- Same type of book as above, but better.

-The Looming Tower- a good history and account for Sept 11






Economics and Money

-Freakonomics- Ever wonder about he economics of drug dealing, including the surprisingly low earnings and abject working conditions of crack cocaine dealers? This book is fantastic.

-Outliers- Gladwell is a master of minute detail. This book helps you focus on the future.

-Blink-Great book on intuitive judgement

-The Age of Uncertainty- the best book I've ever read on the fight between Capitalism and Communism

Biology and Science

-Why Do Men Have Nipples- a general Q&A book. Good for info you can use at a party or to impress somebody. really random stuff.

-A Short History of Nearly Everything- Humorous take on some heavy heavy science. Easier to read than people think.

-The Ancestors Tale- It was hard picking just one Dawkins book, so I gave you two.

-The Greatest Show on Earth- Dawkins is the world-standard for books on biology and evolution in layman's terms.

Good Novels

-1984-Hopefully no explanation needed

-A Brave New World- a different type of dystopian universe compared to 1984. read both back to back.

-The Brothers Karamazov- My favorite piece of Russian Literature. It made me think more than any other book on this list honestly. I can't recommend it enough.

-Catch-22- There are so many layers to this book. So much symbolism, so much allusion. You must pay attention to get the full affect of this book. Great satire. Masterfully written.

-Alas Babylon- Yet another dystopian novel. This time about what would happen after a world wide nuclear war.

-Slaughterhouse-5 Vonnegut is a badass. And that's really all there is to know. I read this book in one day. It was that good. Satire on WW2.

Philosophy

-Sophies World- Good intro to a lot of basic principles of the major philosophers

-Beyond Good and Evil- Nietzche can get REALLY depressing because he is a nihilist but this book is extremely quotable and will give fresh perspective on a lot of things.

-Atlas Shrugged- Ayn Rand's masthead. Its a novel, but its also a commentary on her precious objectivism.


So there you have it. My short list of books to read. I can get deeper into certain subjects if you want me to. Just PM me.

You should read Brave New World. It is, essentially and with a little more plot, your question.

> Fra spøk til alvor så tror jeg ikke et opprør er fordelaktig for den norske befolkning.

Janei, når man sitter i fengsel lenge nok blir mange institusjonalisert og frykter friheten.

Jeg vil anbefale denne boka: https://www.amazon.com/Brave-New-World-Aldous-Huxley/dp/0060929871

Den er forsåvidt aktuell for det første du skriver også

Narkotiske stoffer per medisinsk definisjon vil aldri føre til noe opprør, heller stikk motsatt, noe som nok er mye av grunnen til at det narkotiske stoffet alkohol er det eneste lovlige rusmiddelet.

Andre substanser som juridisk blir definert som "narkotika" kan definitivt være til hjelp for å åpne øynene for hvor stor grad av programering, indoktrinering og kondisjonering vi blir utsatt for i dagen samfunn.

I den sammenheng kan jeg anbefale denne boka av samme forfatter: https://www.amazon.com/Doors-Perception-Heaven-Hell/dp/0061729078
