"I just waited a bit, then turned back to the car, to drive off to wherever it was I was supposed to be."

Having now read both novels, Brave New World and Never Let Me Go, I can't help but wondering how the world is going to change in the future. With all the new technology being developed, the plots of these books are not entirely out of the realm of possibility. It seems entirely possible that people can be made without God's natural idea of intercourse. If our world does become advanced enough to develop this technology, I hope that our world leaders will be responsible and not abuse it. I hope that if this existed, we would not use it in the same ways as the authors imagine it. I don't think man has the right to take away free will and control someone's entire existence. I might be nieve in thinking that this shouldn't happen, because people are treated this way in society now anyways. I think both authors might be warning our society that technology should never get to the point where it is more valued than one's life. Overall, I enjoyed both novels and feel like I have a new view on the world.
David, your entries were once again a pleasure to read. Nice work.
