	Brave New World Revisited
		In Brave New World non-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature (the feelies, orgy-porgy, centrifugal bumble-puppy) are deliberately used as instruments of policy, for the purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of the social and political situations.
		Brave New World presents a fanciful and somewhat ribald picture of a society, in which the attempt to recreate human beings in the likeness of termites has been pushed almost to the limits of the possible.
		The society described in Brave New World is a world-state, in which war has been eliminated and where the first aim of the rulers is [27]at all costs to keep their subjects from making trouble.

	CliffsNotes::Brave New World:Book Summary and Study Guide
		Brave New World has been called a “novel of ideas,” because Huxley takes as his primary focus for the fiction the contrast and clash of different assumptions and theories rather than merely the conflict of personalities.
		Part of Huxley’s reason for “revisiting” the themes of Brave New World stems from his horrified recognition that the world he created in fiction was in fact becoming a reality.
		But, distracted by consumerism and pleasure, people seldom truly engage the reality they are living, just as the citizens of the brave new world seldom recognize the restraints of their society.
