The Architect of The Dystopia","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe stability Huxley envisioned was a stagnant pool. He often told an anecdote about a friend who was obsessed with the idea of a perfect day, planned down to the minute. Huxley noted that by the end of such a day, his friend looked not refreshed, but utterly exhausted by the lack of spontaneity. This served as a microcosm for his fictional state. In the World State, every impulse is satisfied instantly. There is no desire, because there is no waiting; there is no passion, because there is no frustration. Huxley saw that by removing the obstacles to happiness, the World Controllers had actually removed the capacity for depth. A soul without struggle is like a muscle without exercise-it simply withers away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBiography of Aldous Huxley author of Brave New World\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brent Newman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798233507540\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Masterworks\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.33lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.28d","brand":"Brent Newman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":50665262350591,"sku":"9798233507540","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/practical-mysticism-ii-the-architect-brent-newman-9798233507540","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
