En uno de los pocos ratos libres de los que disfuté en mi estancia con los yankis di con una tienda de libros de segunda mano en el centro de Greenville(SC) que recomiendo visitar si es que pasais alguna vez por allí.
De allí me llevé, entre otras cosas, un libro que Aldous Huxley escribió, a grandes rasgos, para explicar su libro "Un mundo feliz" ("Brave new world") y justificar el futuro que en ese libro se propone frente al de la novela de George Orwell, 1984.
A pesar de la pesadez del libro hay detalles e ideas muy interesantes que me hacen seguir leyéndolo.
"...many of them are normal because they are so well adjusted to our mode of existence, because their human voice has been silenced so early in their lives, that they do not even struggle or suffer or develop symptoms as the neurotic does"
[ ]
Their perfect adjustment to that abnormal society is a measure of their mental sickness. These millions of abnormally normal people, living without fuss in a society in which, if they were fully human beings, they ought not to be adjust, still cherish "the illusion of individuality", but in fact they have been to a great extent deindividualized.
