It’s impossible for me to choose only one book.
I have favorite writers but its hard to me to choose a single book. One of the
first writers I liked is Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I was twelve years old when I read
La Hojarasca and I really liked it. But if you made me choose THE book I like, I
have to choose Brave New World, a novel written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley.
Now I was reading about this book and I discovered
that the name Brave New World derives
from Miranda's speech in William Shakespeare's The Tempest:
O wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't.
In the book, the vast majority of the
population is unified under the” World State”, an eternally peaceful, stable
global society where the population is permanently limited to no more than two
billion people, meaning goods and resources are plentiful and everyone is happy.
Natural reproduction has been done away with
and children are created, "decanted", and raised in "hatcheries
and conditioning centres". From birth, people are genetically designed to
fit into one of five castes, which are further split into "Plus" and
"Minus" members and designed to fulfill predetermined positions
within the social and economic strata of the World State.
