Glad that the classics are all there. This just goes to prove that although the world is constantly evolving, some things just stay the same. Like it has been said, "The one thing that never changes about the world, is that the world always changes."
Like I was saying on my twitter, the world can never be equal, like Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron," because we are all different. Not only are we all different, but we acknowledge that, and celebrate these differences. (Most of us.) We are still learning to except each other, as the boys had to in "Lord of the Flies." We ALL need to learn to celebrate the diversity of our world. It would make the world much better.
As said by Q as a comment on the above link,
"The perfect thing about Brave New World is that there is really nothing wrong with it. Everyone is happy and the only purpose of the government is to keep everyone happy. Racism, crime, poorness, genetic disease, old age, filth, and selfishness are all gone. Even those who do not conform can live out their lives is full happiness on islands around the world."
