It was a knee-jerk reaction to reading the tabloids coverage of the wonder I witnessed. I had no journalistic training, couldn’t type and didn’t have a typewriter! All I had was two fingers and the truth. When Mixmag published my feature, it was the very first coverage of raves in the mag, and the response led to Dave Seaman (editor at the time) asking me to cover the next party – Sunrise, in June ‘89. From there, I became known as their ‘raving reporter’ and did the first interviews with The Orb, KLF, The Grid, The Shamen and reports from Glastonbury and a small island off the coast of Spain. Similarly, in 1944 economist Ludwig von Mises described Brave New World as a satire of utopian predictions of socialism: "Aldous Huxley was even courageous enough to make socialism's dreamed paradise the target of his sardonic irony."

Dr. Gaffney, Provost of Eton, an Upper School for high-caste individuals. He shows Bernard and John around the classrooms, and the Hypnopaedic Control Room (used for behavioural conditioning through sleep learning). John asks if the students read Shakespeare but the Provost says the library contains only reference books because solitary activities, such as reading, are discouraged. A passage in Crome Yellow contains a brief pre-figuring of Brave New World, showing that Huxley had such a future in mind already in 1921. Mr. Scogan, one of the earlier book's characters, describes an "impersonal generation" of the future that will "take the place of Nature's hideous system.
