Brief description of The Truman Show and Brave New World
I found the course Digital World interesting, part of my course I choose to watch The Truman Show film and read Brave New Worldnovel as part of my assignment, click on the two links to see a brief summary of what it is about and you can also read the Brave New World online.

The Truman Show is about Truman Burbank being the star of "his" own show though he has no idea. Everyone he knows including his mother, his wife, and his best friend, as they are all actors. Everyday is the practically the same like a routine until he gets suspicious of this whole thing and tries to escape from Seaheaven (the island built for Truman in the middle of the sea so he can't escape). You may want to have a browse through the [transcript].

Brave New World is a novel written by Huxley purposely to warn readers about the possible dangers of future technologies advancing. It talks about inventing test tube babies and conditioning to act identically. Happy is the final feeling, saddness, anger all the bad stuff is not allowed. John in the novel disobeys all this and has a rather tragic ending.
