    About this audiobook

    La novela sorprendente mundo feliz, originalmente publicado en 1932, presenta la visión mítica de Aldous Huxley de un mundo del mañana completamente transformado. En oscuramente Huxley satírico aún escalofriantemente profética imaginación de un "utópico" el futuro, los seres humanos están genéticamente diseñados y farmacéuticamente anestesiado para servir pasivamente una orden dominante. Una obra de gran alcance de la ficción especulativa que ha cautivado a los lectores y aterrorizados durante generaciones, sigue siendo muy relevante para el día de hoy tanto como una advertencia a ser escuchado y como entretenimiento a la reflexión aún satisfactorio.

      “Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly -- they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.”

      Huxley forms a world where people are grown in test-tubes and each built for a role in an ideal society. Where everyone is 'happy' because they are only given enough intelligence to be satisfied in their roles, they are brainwashed with sex and drugs, and those who don't fit their mold are sent away. Bernard Marx is one who doesn't fit into his role. He thinks too much, he wonders too much, he questions too much. He visits a Savage Colony, to view the imperfect life, and happiness is not promised. Here Bernard meets John, hears his story, and brings him back from the colony...

      This was a very interesting view of society. It has a lot of philosophy woven into it, and criticism of capitalism (consumerism). I've had a lot to think about while reading this book. It makes you question happiness, freewill, and belonging. Though some of this book was very slow, and it was a while before the plot became apparent, I did end up enjoying this novel. There is a lot to ponder with this book. I recommend it.

      “I believe one would write better if the climate were bad. If there were a lot of wind and storms for example...” I just thought this was a funny little line.

      Hermosa narración!! Muy recomendable. Y del libro, no hay nada que decir, es increíble como mantiene su vigencia a pesar de haber sido escrito hace casi un siglo.
    • 3/5
      A difficult book to rate. First let me say that I now understand why my high school students all talked about not enjoying this book at all in their English classes. I feel like it would over the top of their heads with its philosophy. I also was surprised to see the amount that sex and open relationships were discussed considering this is required reading at many high schools. I am not saying it should be censored, but it is interesting that it is a book of choice for many high school classes.

      The book itself if a classic so there is not much more I can say. I felt the plot was simply a thin way to expound on various social ideas and philosophies. In some of the later chapters, there is simply a conversation discussing philosophy of the fictional world compared to the beliefs of what would have been the author's contemporary world.

      Interesting concepts to think about, but not a page-turner.

      Uitgekiende toekomstvisie, knap bedacht. Het verhaal zelf heeft een eerder flauw verloop, met vooral vanaf hoofdstuk 9 minder spankracht en een onbegrijpelijke ommekeer bij de hoofdfiguur Bernard. Ook de pointe niet helemaal geslaagd

    • 5/5
      Brave New World is a view of a world taken by the Left; a world where "science" is the religion; a perverse, singularly cold world where humans have been “freed” from conventions and norms (sexual and behavioral); a society encroached by an almighty, overreaching government. Albeit in George Orwell’s “1984” the government, Ingsoc (English Socialism), shapes a dark, brutal society, and in BNW it furnishes a mock religion, drugs and sex in order to make the emptiness of society palatable and working bearable (panem et circenses comes to mind), both societies have in common the fact that they are a product of Leftwing (highly controlling) governments. Nothing could be farther from Conservatism and Capitalism; nothing could be closer to a Leftwing view of the ideal society. This book is actually an exposé of socialism. Anyone who would like to understand what socialism or communism is, should read this book and the following: 1984, The Gulag Archipelago, Animal Farm, The Fountainhead, and Atlas Shrugged.
    • 2/5
      This book was thoroughly depressing.

      The fact that the stability of civilization was maintained because of the genetic tampering of the fetuses in their bottles was horrifying. Various castes were created to fulfill specific needs of society (ie Alphas for management positions, Deltas for factory work, etc).

      Children were brainwashed from birth to be self-indulgent, narcissists interested only in comfort and consumption. Even the introduction of John Savage into their carefully created society was unable to shake their foundation of brainwashing.

      bastante resumida pero es muy buen trabajo me gusto mucho
    • 4/5
      I'm sure I read this years ago, but didn't remember a word of it. I'm glad I read it again. It is oddly prophetic, not in its particulars, but in its insightful asides (e.g. "Our Ford himself"--speaking of Henry, who has become a god--"did a great deal to shift the emphasis from truth and beauty to comfort and happiness. Mass production demanded the shift. Universal happiness keeps the wheels steadily turning; truth and beauty can't.") This is a tad more subtle societal control than 1984, but a worthy companion volume.
    • 3/5
      I remember finding the first chapter boring, the rest pretty good, and the end bewilderingly sad. I'm not sure what the author was trying to elicit, other than the empty feeling I felt towards the end. I'm not sure whether the empty feeling is a good thing, overall. Maybe I should reread it.
    • 1/5
      I hated this book. Too weird
    • 4/5
      I think for my tastes Huxley was perhaps a bit too entranced with showcasing his own vision of the future to properly craft the story set in it, which I personally found a bit uneven and not serving much function other than to underline to various points he was trying to make about his setting. It never really carried me away the way I'd like to be by a narrative (though in fairness, a few individual sections or chapters did, for shorter bursts of time). But that said, there's no denying the author paints a very intriguing result of taking a rather benevolently intended focus on consumerism, mass-production and physical well-being to an absolute extreme (and all the more impressive for having been done as early as the beginning of the 1930s). I also think it a great take on a dystopia in that it is by design populated almost entirely by people tailor made to be happy in it -- unlike most fictional dystopias, where the average person showcased is, at least on some deeper, secret level, rather miserable. But even so, in the end, I unfortunately found it to be a novel more worth reading for its cultural significance than for the actual reading experience.

      Falta el final.
      Algo de lo más importante es el final de John y está lectura lo omite.
      No quiero hacer spoiler, pero el libro no termina así.
      Sin embargo el modo de leer del narrador es buenísimo, te atrapa. Tiene buen ritmo y entonación. Enhorabuena por eso!
    • 3/5
      A world 500 years in the future, where all babies are born from test-tubes, people are completely conditioned to their careers, and free thought is discouraged. A rather chilling book with a shocking ending, although there are a few moments of humour and irony to lighten the mood along the way.
    • 1/5
      No es el libro es el lector. Pésimo no está narrando, esta leyendo apresuradamente, no existen signos de puntuación para él, no da énfasis. Imposible entender el libro con la pésima lectura que hacen de él.
    • 2/5
      This is really well told--I found the writing absolutely amazing. And as a dystopia, it is absolutely thought provoking, and I'm sure it was ground-breaking for its time. But...I despised all of the characters, the women characters were absurdly drawn, and I was disgusted with the attitude Huxley takes toward his constructed world. I found myself arguing with the book *constantly*. I just don't see the world the same way Huxley does. So while I grant that this is an important piece of literature and definitely a seminal work of science fiction, I can't say that I would read it again, or necessarily even recommend it.

      An interesting idea here. Probably very much so for it's time, era before the world wars. It's interesting for me to read this now, while I'm also reading a book about what makes people happy. Because Huxley is talking about problems in which a society has made themselves happy and nothing else. I have to say that while I didn't dislike this book, I didn't really like it that much. But that's not why I'm reading these classical literature. A good classic that a lot of people should take the time to read.
    • 5/5
      Amazing narration, amazing book, would listen again. The whole plot is mind-blowing and knowing we are slowly becoming that type of society is even more mind-blowing.
    • 3/5
      I haven't read this for many years, so this is very much a retrospective review. I remember thinking isn't achieving a society where everybody is happy what we want? Isn't this the ideal? Not equality, which is impossible to achieve and would fail to bring contentment anyway but happiness. Happiness comes from a feeling of self-worth, from a knowledge of being loved and having security. This is what Huxley's Brave New World delivered. Why would anyone want to upset that balance? It may be being falsely created by soma, but it exists and works. I had an inherent fear of the savage and the Badlands. For heaven's sake, have I no spine?I've always had a dislike of risk takers - mavericks, renegades, thrill seekers. What is the point of that high-wire walking Frenchman? That's not heroism it's stupidity. I believe it is a myth that progress in human endeavour is made through these self-aggrandizing people. I think it comes from the unsung foot soldiers and the few anti-social geniuses (Newton, Mozart, Einstein et al).But unlike Orwell, Huxley is long-winded and not such a disciplined writer. I don't think Brave New World actually lives up to it's classic status.
    • 5/5
      Excelente narrativa da un escalafriante vistazo breve de cuál puede ser el futuro con la tecnología y la manipulación genética nos deje.
    • 3/5
      Brave New World is pretty easy to read and get along with, for a dystopian novel, and there are some pretty good quotes. For the most part I didn't think the prose was exceptional, but it was functional and got the story told.

      There were several things that bugged me about it, though. The first thing is the characters -- I'm all about characters in my reading, and if I don't connect with a book, it's likely because I didn't get on with the characters. Brave New World doesn't really have any characters I really got to like. Those that are 'civilised' are too conditioned, too vapid, and the 'savages' are too... intense, partially just by comparison. The focus on pain and self-denial in the 'savage' society is as difficult to get behind as the unthinking, unindividuality of the 'civilised' society. Which is basically the other problem I have: that there are only two extremes. That's partially covered by the misfits who get sent off to live on islands, but not really.

      The message about what constitutes humanity, what is really living, is good, though. "But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want sin."

      Pretty much.
