Brave New World

Brave New World is a 1932 novel by Aldous Huxley, envisioning a dystopian world several centuries into the future. Live birth is outlawed and babies are instead developed in bottles and decanted, there is a rigid caste system based on conditioning and conformity, and classic literature forbidden. The title is derived from a more optimistic line in Shakespeare's The Tempest, while the book itself has often been compared to George Orwell's 1984.
In 1971, in an American Orthopsychiatric Association paper, Helen L. Beck compared Sesame Street to the book: "Aldous Huxley's Brave New World seems indeed to have obtained reality in our living rooms as the young are being drugged into a semi-waking stage by the onslaught of visual and audio stimuli which appeal to the more primitive aspects of the child's personality."The Pam Beach Post. "Is Sesame Street Harmful?" March 26, 1971.
