Brave New World #20 The E.N.D.

The society in the book and today's society are more similar than I originally realized. It's more than in-vitro, birth control and family issue similarities, it's also some of the most core values of society that are amplified by the Brave New World society. For example, one ruling power with millions of blind followers and people seeking to escape their troubles that make them stronger. It was just shocking to see what a few simple ideas could do when *****AAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!******** Brain wave!!!! This is just like inception!!! A simple idea that grows and contorts and infects the mind. It can't be shaken, it grabs hold of the mind and takes over like a virus! I bet that's what happened! Ford, whoever or whatever it is, got a great idea to make a watered down group of people, give them what they want and tell them to follow him (or her, not trying to be sexist here!). Well,I guess I lost my bet with myself. But in all seriousness, I really enjoyed this book!WOAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What in the HECK just happened??? Things are going great, John's in solitude, then all of a sudden, he's dead! What what what on earth?? I guess this is where the Jason Bourne loosing part comes in. He actually got shot jumping off the building. Huh. The one person that I thought was going to defy all odds, be a virtuous person goes against all his beliefs. It's like saying no one can ever be free. I'm blown away again, although not in the best sense. I'm slightly depressed now.
