"Brave New World"

Call them goodies, epiphanies, illuminations, news, the following are three "goodies" concerning the "new world" towards which we are moving quickly and at full sail.  Or rather that "Brave New World" of which the English writer Aldous Huxley speaks in his futuristic book, published in 1932, in which he describes a world of the future (around 2540). The whole Earth is under the power of ten "controllers". The entire society is strictly controlled through scientific practices ranging from birth control to psychological indoctrination, to the selection, via eugenics, of the human race.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Jamyson Haug
