It's About a Life of Choice: Anthony Burgess' "A Clockwork Orange"

In a modern world of ultraviolence, is it any wonder our fictional rumination of the future is contextualized by a world inundated with it? A 15-year old boy remarkably steeped and well-versed in its utility for pleasure, just as the State weaponizes it for their own means, the lines blurring amidst warranted scrutiny in Alex and the government own machinations that further the cycle of pain. Do humans deserve the ability to choose when observing such baseless violence or gluttonous pleasure and its effect on others? Sometimes I wonder whether we should, even though nothing will stop us from having the ability to decide for ourselves. I hope you enjoy tonight's episode! BYYEEE!!!!
