“Words can be like X-rays if you use them properly–they’ll go through anything. You read and you’re pierced.” – Aldous Huxley, Brave New World
This is a favorite quote from a favorite book. Aldous Huxley’s classic dystopian novel speaks to a foreboding society not far off from ours.
Besides its chilling take on post-modernity and beyond, Huxley’s sharp takes are a warning for future societies to heed.

Huxley is definitely one of the fathers of dystopia!

Carefully chosen words can reveal truths, even oneself but conversely one skilled in deception can use words to obscure truth as well. Sounds like a good book to read.
