In Brave New World (1932) Aldous Huxley imagines a future society that has achieved stability and happiness, but only at the cost of individuality, truth, and genuine freedom. The novel contrasts the comfort and conformity of the “World State” with the struggles of John the Savage, who represents an alternative vision of humanity rooted in passion, art, and suffering. More than just science fiction, Brave New World raises timeless philosophical questions: Is happiness without freedom worth having? Does a painless life leave room for meaning? And what do we sacrifice when we trade individuality for security?We will read the whole book for the meetup. Join us as we discuss these questions and the novel in its entirety! The book can be found online here:
