The Brave New World Of Technology
1,362 wordsWhen thinking of progress, most people think of advances in the scientific fields, believing that most discoveries and technologies are beneficial to society. Are these advances as beneficial as most people think? Brave New World presents a startling view of the future which on the surface appears almost comical.

Republic Of Gilead Handmaids Tale
