这部小说叫美丽新世界
阿道司·赫胥黎（Aldous Huxley）的《美丽新世界》
《美丽新世界》是二十世纪最经典的反乌托邦文学之一,与乔治·奥威尔的《1984》、扎米亚京的《我们》并称为“反乌托邦”三书,在国内外思想界影响深远.
书中引用了广博的生物学、心理学知识,为我们描绘了虚构的福特纪元632年即公元2532年的社会.这是一个人从出生到死亡都受着控制的社会.在这个“美丽新世界”里,由于社会与生物控制技术的发展,人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶.这种统治甚至从基因和胎儿阶段就开始了.
这是一个有阶级、有社会分工的社会,人类经基因控制孵化,被分为五个阶级,分别从事劳心、劳力、创造、统治等不同性质的社会活动.人们习惯于自己从事的任何工作,视恶劣的生活和工作环境与极高的工作强度为幸福.因此,这是,一个快乐的社会,这种快乐还有别的措施保障,比如睡眠教学,催眠术被广泛用来校正人的思维,国家还发放叫做索麻的精神麻醉药物让人忘掉不愉快的事情.
正是在这个“美丽新世界”里,人们失去了个人情感,失去了爱情——性代替了爱,失去了痛苦、激情和经历危险的感觉.最可怕的是,人们失去了恩考的权利,失去了创造力.

下面是一个有关世界的变化,也可以看作是美丽新世界的变化吧:
1.YOUTH
Looking around America, you'll notice that most faces on billboards, magazines, TV and advertisements are that of young, pretty people. In a culture that equates youth with beauty, a majority of Americans is constantly at war with aging. Before the advent of new technologies, people used to jump through hoops to shave a couple years off of their looks. But now, laser surgery is a relatively painless alternative to facelifts and skin tucks. And let us not forget all the fancy anti-aging cosmetic products and skin treatments in department stores and beauty salons. Furthermore, we have also developed holistic approaches to fighting aging： yoga, herbs, acupuncture, etc.
It seems like people will do almost anything to stay young. But the crazy thing is that you can't stay young forever. That's impossible. What you can do is feel youthful. And that requires much more than cosmetic changes. In order to feel young, you must exercise your mind, keep up with the world and maintain an active lifestyle. In other words, instead of spending ＄ 5000 on wrinkle removing laser surgery, why not go on an adventurous journey to an unfamiliar part of the world? Instead of spending ＄ 50 on a bottle of anti-aging lotion, why not buy a mountain bike?
We should always remember the fountain of youth lies in our heart, mind and spirit.
2.HEALTH
One of the characteristics of youth is good health. And Americans are definitely on the right track.Since the early 90's, America has been on a big health kick. People are staying away from foods that are high in fat, sodium and cholesterol. More of us are quitting smoking, cutting down drinking and exercising more.We sip herbal teas, gulp fresh juices,stir fry organic vegetables,hire personal trainers, and consult nutritionists.Do you know that some Americans take ＄ 15 worth of vitamins a day? Unbelievable, huh?
In addition to staying in good physical form, we try to enhance our mental and spiritual health.Most Americans lead a stressful lifestyle： too many places to go, people to see, bills to pay, etc. As a result, we are tense, stiff and wound up. In recent years, various stress reduction therapies such as yoga, meditation, massages, and aromatherapy have become a living necessity,like medicine for the overtaxed mind and the soul.After all, a sound mind in a sound body is the best state to be in.
3.CAREER AND SUCCESS
Needless to say, there are many advantages to being young and healthy, one of which is doing and achieving more with your life. That's right. If you're young, you have your whole life ahead of you. If you're healthy, you'll live longer. Youth and health are the building blocks of success.
Our lives are plotted out with milestones. And we are expected to accomplish certain things by certain ages. So the sooner you can achieve these milestones, the more successful you are.
In a society where your happiness and self- worth are determined by your career accomplishments, people are under the pressure to devote themselves entirely to their work. Often times, people disregard their passions and interests and choose careers based on job security, pay and professional prestige. As a result, they are unhappy and their personal lives and love ones suffer. Personally, I think success means you're making a comfortable living doing what you love and enjoy.
Anyway, regardless of the resolution, we are all making a commitment toward betterment. And with it, there is the hope for a happier life and an improved sense of self. How odd that it is our constant dissatisfaction with the status quo that propels society forward?After all, nothing kills progress like complacency.But now the nagging question is, why must we wait for New Years to make resolutions. Today is as good as any. Right? A brave new world awaits us and its dawn depends on our resolve to move steadily forward and towards something better, something different, and something wonderful. I took a deep breath and settled on my life's resolutions grand as it may sound, I'm determined to make the most of every second of my life. Because a bright future begins with the present and the present is here and now.
