Remember when I said reading can count?

Brave New World helps stimulate the imagination when wondering what dark eldar society might look like. The futuristic cities described have hyperfixations on pleasure seeking, make most of their babies in test tubes, and look down upon the “uncivilized.” It ain’t a one-to-one match with drukhari society but there’s plenty of overlap.

Plus this book stands as a landmark in scifi lit worthy of reading by anyone who’s ready for some mature themes. I think it holds up fine despite its original release in the 1930’s. Though for me it feels more like an artifact, a time capsule, than a vital work speaking to me and my times. I still see it referenced in culture today, however, so perhaps I am an outlier in how connected I am to it.

What a secret pleasure, to think you’re an outlier. To have value on the merit of your rarity. I hear in Asia outliers are seen as protruding nails needing to get pounded flush with the grain of society. Where American outliers become documentary subjects.

Note: ive only read a little more than half so take my review with a grain of salt.

I went biking today to get my blood flowing and it irritated my arm some but hopefully helped more than hurt.
