MUSIC: Khruangbin - May Ninth (Official Video)

The latest tune just dropped from Khruangbin. As is often the case with this band, it's just harmonic beauty.

Lyrics:

Waiting for May to come
Hoping for the rain
A memory held too long
Just another day

Oh what it could be
Oh what a dream to me

Memory burned and gone
A multicolored grey
Waiting for May to come
Happy for the rain

BOOK: "A Brave New World"

A new book for the Pseudo Boethius library:



It's been at least 30 years or more since I last read this book, but it's influence was profound.  It's been on my mind a lot the past couple of years, and hence I decided it might be time to buy a copy. 

There are three truly great dystopian novels in the realm of science fiction: Orwell's "1984", Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451" and Huxley's "Brave New World".   "1984" warns us about the coming surveillance state, the great Opticon that hears and sees all, and lies about absolutely everything. Brandbury's "Fahrenheit 451" is about the dangers of anti-intellectualism, and the dumbing down of people via technology.   And Huxley's "Brave New World" is about the state using hedonism and genetics to make a paradise on earth.   All three novels accurately predicted the situation we now find ourselves in. 

Huxley's book might be the most accurate of the three however, especially in regards to the way that society is consuming pills and drugs of every kind to be "happy" and to stay in a state of perpetual adolescence.
