I once had a multiple hour long discussion with someone who claimed it's clearly a utopia... Free drugs, sex without consequences, guaranteed job,...

Freedom is for suckers apparently.

Maybe it was the same guy xD

Pretty scary, though. Impressive that you had the energy and care to talk to someone like that. I think my brain would have shrunk to a peanut and turned me into a clapping monkey. You are made of stronger stuff than I, my friend.

I feel like that just highlights the beauty of the work itself, and how accurate a reflection it is on our society. How many of us have NEVER felt so burned out by the struggle that A Brave New World doesn't seem like a relief? I think a person's response to the concept has a lot to do with how they view the world, and also how the world shapes people differently.
