The world that Huxley paints is a world that becomes so perfect that no one is ever unhappy. No one loves or hates. No one fears death. There are no families and no connection to others besides operating within your assigned caste to help the system. I thought this was extremely thought-provoking and it surprised me with the turn that it took. I do think some of the language is outdated, especially when referring to indigenous Americans. There is also some pretty tough scenes of domestic violence and self harm as well. I do think some of the predictions Huxley makes are far fetched, but some are not. For a book written in 1932, he makes some poignant points about humanity and choice.

Very good, a tough read and a great dive into a eugenics dystopia. Terrifyingly applicable to what could actually happen in the future compared to other dystopia works
