you really need to read Brave New World random thoughts Send a noteboard - 03/04/2011 07:14:04 PM
It takes a while to get started since Huxley used the awkward narrative prop of following a tour of the birthing center to explain his world, for about half the book. I don't think the writing style is as good as Orwell's but I liked his concept better. Either way it is worth reading and you can see how much influence he had on scfi.
