Re: banned books

[(Anonymous)]

When I had to do this, I chose Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. It was a pretty ease read if I remember correctly and it was really easy to write a paper on since the banned elements are pretty obvious and you can compare it 1984 and other dystopian books and there are a lot themes to explore.

A basic synopsis of the world is that all children are artificially made. Families are looked down on but sex and enjoyment are approved. Everyone is happy, sometimes genetically programmed to be. But there's a reservation where people still have children the old fashion way. A man from the reservation is invited to join society and learns more about it. There's some religious stuff but I don't remember it being obnoxious. If that sounds interesting, you might want to give this one a try. I think it's more world-building than plot, but I don't really remember. I thought it was pretty good though.

Oh! Brave New World is great. Isn't there a quote about 1984 being a world that bans books and BNW being a world that doesn't need to because nobody wants to read a book? Sums up the tone pretty well.

Re: banned books

Yeah, the quote's on the Wiki page for the book:

"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egotism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture, preoccupied with some equivalent of the feelies, the orgy porgy, and the centrifugal bumblepuppy. As Huxley remarked in Brave New World Revisited, the civil libertarians and rationalists who are ever on the alert to oppose tyranny "failed to take into account man's almost infinite appetite for distractions." In 1984, Postman added, people are controlled by inflicting pain. In Brave New World, they are controlled by inflicting pleasure. In short, Orwell feared that what we fear will ruin us. Huxley feared that our desire will ruin us."
