A review by whatjaimereads
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Did not finish book.
I was excited about this book for a long time, and managed to wade through 11 pages before DNFing and having a Big Cry.
Chapter 1 is rife with extremely graphic racism, sinophobia, ableism, eugenics, and forced sterilisation, and to my understanding it only gets worse from there. It is completely inexcusable for this to be upheld as one of the greats, and reading this was deeply upsetting.
