His other book Island is basically the opposite side of the coin that Brave New World is on.

damn, wish i owned a physical copy of both 💜

"Island" ha? Uff, I need to stick my nose into it. Sounds definitely like something I should have heard of.

Its his last book. Many concepts from Brave New World are flipped around for a utopian perspective. What was used for dissatisfaction and self indulgence are used for the purpose of cultivating mindfulness and community

*satisfaction lol no idea how that typo got in

If you do, you'll start to see some fregging similarities to society today.

For example, the mentioned "wild ones/outsiders" in brave new world could be a description of bitcoiners in the future.

Or remembering the drug SOMA, there're many similarities to substances available to society to a certain extend.

would love a physical copy, digital doesn’t hit the same

Someone else that prefers paper books. I’m not alone. Thought I was but figured it was because I’m old and I can’t keep up with all you whipper snappers 🤙🏼

as a representative of the young whipper snapper bunch, we don’t have money for buying them.

don’t have many books in english in libraries here either

Old people also don’t always have a lot of money. I tend to take books out of the library unless they absolutely can’t find it anywhere in the country for a transfer I’ll buy one and then donate it when I’m done reading it
