In Brave New World Huxley presents a world where humans are of no real value. They are genetically engineered and produced in different ranks just to keep the world in some sort of order. They don't have families, parents, homes, or any of the traditional human values. They are taught just to do their jobs and enjoy them. The world as we know it is completely ridiculous in their eyes.
The motto that is used a lot in this scary world is "Every one belongs to every one else." It's normal for them to be with multiple people at the same time. In fact, if you stay to long with one person that is considered dangerous because you might actually build up feelings for that single person. A person is not valuable in this culture. No one is saved only for one other person, but everyone is shared.
I think that this world is completely sick. People are important and human relationships should be treasured. I also think it's stupid and disgusting to engineer people. So far I'm just really irritated and disgusted with this book.
