Brave New World? Seriously?

I really wonder how it's possible...

Theory 1) Out of the dozens, possibly hundreds, of well-educated, trained and experienced professionals who work for Motorcyclist magazine there are none who have actually read Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

Theory 2) The ones who have read it, and understood the satirical nature of the title describing a *dystopian hell*, were either silenced (see Orwell) or didn't bother because they thought no one who reads Motorcyclist would care. And therefore emblazening it, huge print, on the front cover of the April issue seemed like a swell idea.

Well The new R1 is the opposite of the mass-produced, homoginized machinery from Henry Fords assembly line. The world we live in, on the other hand, maybe isn't so different from the way Huxley describes it. Either way, I don't think that's what you meant.

O, wonder!
How many goodly creatures are there here!
How beauteous mankind is! O brave new world,
That has such people in't!
--Wm. Shakespeare, "The Tempest," Act 5, Scene 1


Talent borrows, genius steals.
--Oscar Wilde


Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life. The only completely consistent people are dead.
--Aldous Huxley
