It was a really interesting utopian/dystopian book. It really showed how sameness is needed for a utopian society to exist and anything that differs from the mold creates a dystopia. The use of eugenics was really interesting and I actually really enjoyed learning how the society continues to promote sameness and how it used platonic views of philosopher kings/elites/lessers to create a functioning society.
Overused word: Pnuematic. Everything that was good was described this way and it got really annoying.
