That society is shaped by the hand that feeds them (soma).

>>8311583
that women actually do love manlets like me!

>>8311913
weren't epsilons manlets and alphas were tall and fit?

>>8311919
Well he's probably talking about the narrator who was a botched alpha if I remember

>>8311925
he had alcohol mixed in his tube or something which made him not socially programed like the rest but if i remember correctly he wasn't short

When I ask people about what dystopian novels they like, I find that men tend to prefer 1984 while women prefer Brave New World.

Anyone else noticed this and is there an explanation to this phenomenon?

>>8311942
Because women don't understand BNW isn't a dystopia

if it wasn't for the lack of possession, physically and emotionally, this book would represent utopia.

>>8311983
Then why did all the normies tell me that it is? Was I memed on?

>>8311933

Nah, mate. Other way round. Bernard was definitely shorter than other Alphas.
It was only R U M O U R E D that alcohol was mixed into his feed

>>8312042
Yup

Huxley presents us a paradox in which the world is both a utopia and dystopia but also neither

Basically the world is perfect but it's this perfection that makes it unnatural and denies us of our humanity
