We are the (Brave New) World

As I began reading Brave New World I was extremely confused, but as I got more into the book I started to love it. Huxley really does know what he's talking about. Even though the world we live in has not yet reached this type of control, I know that one day this could be possible. The thought of the Bible and religion as being "old" just surprises me. The higher powers in this book wanted to eliminate everything old and would only allow new things to be taught. One thing that sounded kind of fun to me was the "feely" place. If I understand correctly, it's like a movie theatre where you can feel what the characters in the film feel. If that's not what it is, then does anyone care to explain? Another thing I thought was kind of cool was the soma. These tablets seem like they are completely bad, and they are, but they have some benefits too. I mean, wouldn't it be great to just stop time and take a mini vacation where you're completely relaxed. It sounds good to me! However, the soma tablets are just another way that controls the people in this utopian society. Lastly, one thing that I just loved about this book was the fact that there were some people who stood up to the Controllers. It just excited me when they rebelled against the rules and laws of their society. I felt like I was actually in the book. Whether we want to admit it or not, this type of world could be lingering in our near future. My question to you is: If this society were to exist, would you abide by the rules and take your soma, or would you be one of the characters, such as Bernard Marx, to be sent off to an island?
