In "The Savage" by Aldous Huxley, John, raised in a more natural and primitive environment, is repulsed by various civilized customs such as the lack of genuine emotion in relationships, the superficiality of consumer culture, and the casual attitudes towards sex and reproduction. He finds the dehumanizing effects of technology and the absence of individualism in the highly controlled society particularly disturbing. These customs highlight the stark contrast between his upbringing on the Savage Reservation and the values of the World State, leading to his profound sense of alienation.
