CHAPTER 3-4 "BRAVE NEW WORLD": NOTES

• A connection between Huxley's style and the subject of his book.
• Bekonovsky process - fictious human cloning process.
• Difference between theory and practice: America is a "melting pot" vs. The reality of absence of that level of mixture in the country for the immigrants.
• Huxley's point: we haven't lost humanity yet but if we are not careful, this is what happens.
• Modern society: even though differences are acknowledged, some form of technology and the intelligence exceed those of human capabilities and knowledge; creepy and necessity of compassionate.
• Who's in charge, who has most power and position.
• The sense of "I'm still using that but it's not using me."
• Assembly line of people
• Necessity of a lifeline
• There's only seven plot lines: all the books are reenactment of the same line.
• Fragmentation: taking something whole and breaking it up into fragments.
• The characters in the book aren't taught to relate.
• Any science that the Director addresses is unknown to him in terms of understanding.
