Sakmann, Lindsay. "LION: Banned Books Week: Banned BOOKS in the Library". library.albright.edu . Retrieved 18 June 2020. Upon its publication, Rebecca West praised Brave New World as "The most accomplished novel Huxley has yet written", [34] Joseph Needham lauded it as "Mr. Huxley's remarkable book", [35] and Bertrand Russell also praised it, stating, "Mr. Aldous Huxley has shown his usual masterly skill in Brave New World." [36] Brave New World also received negative responses from other contemporary critics, although his work was later embraced. [37] If I were now to rewrite the book, I would offer the Savage a third alternative. Between the Utopian and primitive horns of his dilemma would lie the possibility of sanity... In this community economics would be decentralist and Henry-Georgian, politics Kropotkinesque and co-operative. Science and technology would be used as though, like the Sabbath, they had been made for man, not (as at present and still more so in the Brave New World) as though man were to be adapted and enslaved to them. Religion would be the conscious and intelligent pursuit of man's Final End, the unitive knowledge of immanent Tao or Logos, the transcendent Godhead or Brahman. And the prevailing philosophy of life would be a kind of Higher Utilitarianism, in which the Greatest Happiness principle would be secondary to the Final End principle—the first question to be asked and answered in every contingency of life being: "How will this thought or action contribute to, or interfere with, the achievement, by me and the greatest possible number of other individuals, of man's Final End?"

For a while it seems that John might be left alone, after the public's attention is drawn to other diversions, but a documentary maker has secretly filmed John's self-flagellation from a distance, and when released the documentary causes an international sensation. Helicopters arrive with more journalists. Crowds of people descend on John's retreat, demanding that he perform his whipping ritual for them. From one helicopter a young woman emerges who is implied to be Lenina. John, at the sight of a woman he both adores and loathes, whips at her in a fury and then turns the whip on himself, exciting the crowd, whose wild behaviour transforms into a soma-fuelled orgy. The next morning John awakes on the ground and is consumed by remorse over his participation in the night's events.Goetz’s writing is a kind of dancing. Each sentence, fragment, captures the essence of what it’s like to live inside the spaces of techno music. Thoughts come and go, and return louder, later in the text, with an urgent rhythm that makes the cumulative case for the transformative power of the dance floor. This is writing of and from the body, hot, sweaty, dazed, decadent, and ultimately life-affirming.’ In the late 1980s and early ’90s, the famed New York club kids wore fashion that aimed “to provoke outrage or hog attention,” wrote club kid Ernie Glam in Alexis Dibiasio’s book Fabulosity: A night you’ll never forget…or remember! “They took inspiration from clowns, drag, bondage, sci-fi, horror, punk, Parisian couture and children’s wear.…Eventually the look became a stereotype.” Gender-fluid and DIY, the iconic club kid scene jump-started the career of drag icon RuPaul and elevated club culture to an environment in which one could openly craft their self-image in a conservative America. Wark’s entry into Duke University Press’s Practices series, which spotlights the activities that make us human, invites us into the underground queer and trans rave scene of New York City. A bombastic collision of sound and movement, raving is, to Wark, the ideal activity for 'this era of diminishing futures.' An avid raver herself, she blends academic analysis with her own first-hand accounts, all relayed with sensual, staccato prose." — Sophia M. Stewart, The Millions Matt Stokes, MASS, Exhibition View at De Hallen, Haarlem, 2011 (Photo by Gert van Rooij, M HKA Archive) This is another UK-centric view of the history of DJing and rave culture. It tells the story of the second summer of love and the birth of rave culture. A must read for any DJ in the UK if not the world.
