Noble Savage/SciFi/Teen Drama. A lost and unwashed teen, outcast in his own land, is rescued (along with his repulsive VIVIPAROUS mother) from the deepest darkest desert and introduced to the Jetsons-meets-soft-core-porn-esque genetically engineered civilization of his forbears (crowds of identical people all produced for one job, arranged by caste, creepily like Oompa Loompas) where he finds that OH MY GOD his TOTAL freakishness makes him cool. And like any nihilistic teen who hates the mall, he banishes himself to a life of self flaggelagtion and intestinal purges high in the Scottish Mountains. Should have picked a deserted island to live on, injun! He is pursued and ogled, a la King Kong, until driven to madness and suicide. His ideological guru, SHAKESPEARE of all people, would not have approved. This book is pneumatic, which, contrary to the positive connotation in the book, means it sucks. However, as _Brave New World_ is part of the Literary Canon, and Aldous Huxley is considered the greatest satirist of his time, it is, unfortunately, required reading. But pop at least a half pill of soma before reading it. It is probably better while on drugs.
