Highschool Remixed

In high school, the books the cool kids read included all of the dystopian texts we've talked about in class. Of course they were assigned at one point, too... but for the time being it was a struggle to keep up with the heady, intellectual books fueled by paranoia and punk rock attitudes.






When it comes to the last one... Brave New World, it ties into the Gattica film we saw part of. The society is built around perfection in child birth. Everyone tries to alter genetics, to make things "easier." Except its more of a homogenization of robotic freaks.
