Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I decided to read this book in part of my attempt to read at least one classic book a season. The book was published in 1932 and the first thing I have to say is it didn't feel dated. The book is about a future society where everyone (well almost everyone) is happy and content with their status in life and when they start to feel unhappy their is a pill to take to solve that problem. There are no family structure and you are raised by society to be happy in your role in society from before birth. Multiple sex partners are encouraged. Talk of God and Shakespeare are forbidden. The main plot of the story is what happens when someone who was raised outside that world is thrown into it how he reacts to the it and how it react to him. The bottom line is I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
