How Far Is Too Far?

Eugenics & Morality Compared in Brave New World and Thus Far
Here’s your meme. Are you really “here”?

Yes, I’m tackling a biggie this week: Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley. I’ve been waiting a long time to vent some spleen at Mr. Huxley. (Since sometime in the mid-1970’s, I think! ha-ha.) Seriously though, it’s an important book and not just for the usual reasons.

Thus Far (1925) by J. C. Snaith is not as big or as important. But maybe it should be. They make an interesting comparison.

Thanks for listening to The Rocketeer! I think we can learn a lot about our culture through popular literature and this is what I explore in this podcast. Subscribe for free to receive new posts and support my work.

The Rocketeer is the official bulletin of the Space Explorers Club. Ironic that a weekly column about pulp fiction should eventually return to radio. All the same, it seems fitting.
