Book Talk: What would a world be like without emotions? What would it be like if we never saw old age or death? What if we were grown to have one function, one job for the rest of our existence? What if there were no more families and what if “love” was just a pill that you took? Would you really want to know a life that was passive and clean and free of “pain”? If you are still curious then follow me to a Brave New World.
