For those that have read Brave New World, do any of you feel like the "dysopia" that is described in the book sounds amazing and way better than the life we have available? I read that book and all I can think about is how great life would be if society were really like that. Why anyone would want the pain and drudgery that comes with the life we have is beyond me.

I'd have to reread it as an adult, but no, I did not think it was that great. The protagonist seemed extremely sad and hopeless even with all that pleasure. A whole underclass was built out of people engineered to be genetically (mentally) inferior. Doesn't sound very awesome to me.I don't see how we are anywhere even close to there. Can you ellaborate?
I don't see how we are anywhere even close to that world. Can you elaborate?
