YOU GOTTA FIGHT. FOR YOUR RIGHT. TO PAAAAAARRRRRTTTTTYYYY!!!

Oh yes, the Beastie Boys certainly said it best in their rock anthem and the characters in this book live by it. In this society work is very important, but play is met as it's exact equal, and do these people know how to play. They have gardens to get it on in, huge futuristic putt putt courses, hover crafts to take them to exotic lands all over the world, porno shows where you can experience it all through a chair, and soma pills to get you geared up for these engaging activities. I find it interesting that in this society such activity is so encouraged. In today's world if a person were to do these kinds of things nonstop we would consider them out of control, and yet in this society this is just another tool to control the masses. When all these people are partaking in all this merriment they are never alone and always doing activities that are run by the government. Their thinking is that if people are never alone then they can't have individual ideas, and if things stay light and happy then there is no chance of an uprising due to unrest. It's really quite brilliant if you think about it, having all these adults running around acting like babies that are so easy to manipulate. In fact it was people like Bernard who refused to do anything fun that were so difficult to understand and therefore they sent him away. It kind of seems like all these people are living in one big reality show being scripted by the government itself. So is it the best way to go, letting society become one big episode of The Real Life, London? I don't think so....
