So is Brave New World your dream state? >_>

quick unrelated question, was that any good? It's always mentioned as a classic distopian novel (along with 1984, which I already read)

It's alright.

Again, an impossibility...

No one should be allowed to have that degree of power, as they'll abuse it.

You assume the presence of a benevolent dictator; I would agree if this were the case.

Unfortunately, people are jerks, and power corrupts. Your dictator wouldn't be benevolent for long.

I have no signature.
