Brave New World is one of the most famous literary works of the twentieth century. It is a brilliant 'dystopian' vision - describing a future world of bottled babies, cloning, brainwashing and totalitarian social control. Blade Runner, a celebrated cult film directed by Ridley Scott, is another example of serious science fiction. It deals with a future in which technology is out of control. This movie, part thriller and part love story, addresses major issues - identity, compassion, the meaning of life. Study of both the novel and the film is set within the context of the NSW syllabus English Elective module 'In the Wild'. The guide provides background material on the 'In the Wild' theme, before offering a background notes and a summary of both texts. It concludes by linking the novel and the film to 'In the Wild', and providing model answers.
