Dystopian Future II?

Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

Much like 1984, Brave New World is an eerie revelation of what life could be like without the restraint of the Holy Spirit in this world. In fact both accounts detail what may appear to be the undermining of Freedom in America. Not to sound like an alarmist or anything: Wake up, "don't you want to be free?"

Concepts:

Continuous war=War on terror.

Uneducation=Implementation of the "look-say" method of teaching students how to read. "No child left behind."

Conditioning=Government(public) schools

Happiness=Trading our freedoms for "safety."

Big Brother=Patriot Act legalizing internal surveillance to the extent that it does



If I think of more I will update this list.
