brave new world

Aldous Huxley's iconic work has gotten a new live adaptation in HBO's series bearing the same name. While the series carries the same premise and some plot elements it's not the same thing.

While the book might have been a presentation of it's time and the fears of the future back almost a hundred years ago those same threating pictures are more relevant than ever today. We are living in a world where algorithms are feeding us with the next thing to watch, overwhelming us with the pleasures of neverending stream of entertainment.

I used to watch those shows only occasionally. And only one or two at the time. I didn't get that many series watched. But at least I didn't spend too much time on them either.

They started to pile up. I had to weed out shows from my watchlist and curate the shows I watched carefully. Until I finally got the list down enough and had some extra time to watch them all.
