Named after the ancient Egyptian god of writing, science, art, wisdom, judgment, and magic, Thoth is an Open Source curation bot that is intended to align incentives for authors and investors towards the production and support of creativity that attracts human eyeballs to the Steem blockchain.

This will be done by: 1. Identifying attractive posts on the blockchain - past and present; 2. Highlighting those posts for curators; and 3. Using beneficiary rewards to deliver additional rewards to authors. 4. A future enhancement will start delivering beneficiary rewards to delegators.

If the highlighted post has already paid out, you can upvote this post in order to send rewards to the included authors. If it is still eligible for payout, you can also click through and vote on the orginal post. Either way, you may also wish to click through and engage with the original author!

2	'[BOOK REVIEW] Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley 📚'	@steemswede

**Curation Report** **1. KEY TAKEAWAYS** - **Dystopian Societies**: Both George Orwell's "1984" and Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World" present terrifyingly unfree societies, but differ in methods of control. - **Control Through Happiness vs Fear**: Orwell uses fear, coercion, and surveillance, while Huxley employs genetic engineering, conditioning, and entertainment to maintain order. - **Critique of Modern Society**: Huxley's novel serves as a critique of modern society's focus on instant gratification, medicating symptoms over addressing root causes, and the replacement of deep reflection with entertainment. **2. TARGET AUDIENCE** Steemizens interested in dystopian literature, social commentary, philosophy, psychology, and critical thinking about societal structures will find this content most valuable. It offers a unique perspective on two classic dystopian novels and encourages introspection about contemporary society. **3. CONVERSATION STARTERS** - Which dystopian society do you find more frightening – Orwell's or Huxley's? Why? - How does Huxley's "Brave New World" resonate with today's society? What aspects are most concerning? - Can true happiness exist in a society that suppresses individuality and negates suffering?
