The Brave New Frontier of American Literature
For All Rising Seniors:
With your summer reading, you will experience the Brave New World of Aldous Huxley...take a peek at this controversial and surprisingly apt text:
"Brave New World is a benevolent dictatorship: a static, efficient, totalitarian welfare-state. There is no war, poverty or crime. Society is stratified by genetically-predestined caste. Intellectually superior Alphas are the top-dogs. Servile, purposely brain-damaged Gammas, Deltas and Epsilons toil away at the bottom. The lower orders are necessary in BNW because Alphas - even soma-fuelled Alphas - could allegedly never be happy doing menial jobs" (Pearce 3).
