A Brave New World Blog #24 Why do we still read this book? What is so timeless about its message and characters? What can we learn from reading this

The novel A Brave New World is still read because it gives people an idea of what the future could be like. This book is timeless because it portrays the future and sends the massage that the human race could one day be that easily manipulated. People like to learn anything about what the future may be like. We can learn from this novel that people will always believe anything and if you don't stand up for what you believe, people could take something so far as to brainwash everyone around you. This is how the Savage feels, like everyone around him is brainwashed and no one will listen to him. His mother was the only one that knew what he was going through and she died because when Bernard brought the two of them back from the reservation his mother went soma crazy and couldn't stop taking the stuff. So the Savage thinks that this new civilization killed his mother. Poor guy. The Savage is a timeless character because he tries to restore the sanity in the future world and there will always be people like the Savage around.
