Hi! A few years ago i read a book by Aldous Huxley called Brave New World. I loved it because it was so different then anything that I have ever read! This world looks like a world mentioned in movie Island. As a full time player of The Lord of the Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar, I saw on official forum of the game a news about game called Huxley. Is this game based on book Brave New World as I heard?

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley, first published in 1932. The world the novel describes is a utopia, albeit an ironic one: humanity is carefree, healthy and technologically advanced. Warfare and poverty have been eliminated and everyone is permanently happy. The irony is that all of these things have been achieved by eliminating many things that humans consider to be central to their identity family, culture, art, literature, science, religion, and philosophy. I also heard that this game was based on that book, and that some arts are inspired by movie Equilibrium.
