Kate Lohnes, writing for Encyclopædia Britannica, notes similarities between Brave New World and other novels of the era could be seen as expressing "common fears surrounding the rapid advancement of technology and of the shared feelings of many tech-skeptics during the early 20th century". Other dystopian novels followed Huxley's work, including C.S. Lewis's That Hideous Strength (1945) and Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). [61] Legacy [ edit ]

Our family signed up for the Freedom Island Book Club, after we started homeschooling our boys. I realized as a mother, my children weren't practicing the morals and values that we hold in our home anymore. They spent so much time away from home, we lost the connection we all had together as a family, and for the Lord. When we signed up, my husband and I made it our mission to make Brave Books, our monthly family adventure. Every time a book comes in, we make our home a special area that we can relax and play in, or we go somewhere and read there. The kids enjoy dedicating an entire day to family time, learning from the Brave Books, and taking the time to grow closer to God as we pray and spend quality family time together. We recently went hiking, and all 3 kids brought their favorite books to read before the sun went down, it's moments like this, that Brave Books help create. Andreeva, Nellie (17 September 2019).

TL;DR This isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. For one thing, its pacing is unique. I liked it, I would compare it to the pacing of something like A Wrinkle in Time or Catherine, Called Birdy or even maybe The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm. Perfect for me, but YMMV. Dr. Gaffney, Provost of Eton, an Upper School for high-caste individuals. He shows Bernard and John around the classrooms, and the Hypnopaedic Control Room (used for behavioural conditioning through sleep learning). John asks if the students read Shakespeare but the Provost says the library contains only reference books because solitary activities, such as reading, are discouraged. Personally, I was a big fan of this book. Bravely is a fantastic and fitting addition to Merida’s story. Stiefvater did a wonderful job on the story, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes YA, YA Fantasy, or Disney movies. I’m not sure what Stiefvater’s plans are after her final release in the Dreamer Trilogy, but whatever it is, you can bet that I’ll be reading it.Huxley, Aldous (1932). Brave New World.

This is a story about two gods and a girl.” Bravely takes place a few years after the canon Pixar ending of Brave, in which Merida is returning to DunBroch for Christmas after a year of traveling. There, she learns of a terrible plot against her family from the God, Feradach, who is tasked with “rooting out rot and stagnation”. Another God – the Cailleach – strikes a bargain between Merida and Feradach, wherein Merida must enact change throughout her family and DunBroch within four seasons. Merida faces a tough year ahead, but will she be able to accomplish her goal without losing sight of the most important change – aka, herself?

"All's well that ends Wells", wrote Huxley in his letters, criticising Wells for anthropological assumptions Huxley found unrealistic.
