The Savage Reservation

The Savage Reservation is a fictional place from Aldous Huxley's novel "Brave New World," representing a society outside the highly controlled, technologically advanced world. It’s depicted as a primitive, less developed area where traditional ways of life persist, contrasting sharply with the synthetic, uniform society elsewhere. The reservation highlights themes of natural human experience versus artificial conditioning, emphasizing differences between free, spontaneous living and controlled societal norms. It serves as a setting to explore ideas about civilization, progress, and the costs of societal control.
