Brave New World is such a good read. I’m a huge fan of science fiction books and I couldn’t get enough of it. The dystopian society that Huxley created is so intriguing and it’s crazy to know that it was published in 1932. The novel itself back then was considered controversial and to this day it still is but I think novels that make you question the way the world is going and even scare you a bit are important to read. We can learn so much from science fiction books and Brave New World is a perfect example of one. The many themes such as individuality, truth, and happiness really made me ponder, especially because I could relate and see both sides of the argument presented in the novel.
