A review by hopeloveslit
Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

2.75

Brave New World is a dystopian novel about a futuristic society that engineers and conditions humans in predestined ways. The society is controlled by technology, science, and a substance called soma. The characters are encouraged to be promiscuous and designed to crave instant gratification. 

Huxley explores profound themes such as the sacrifice of individual freedom and other prevalent ideas like the pursuit of happiness. I do believe everyone would benefit from reading this book once. However, I didn’t enjoy it as much as I had hoped. The pacing was too slow for me. Honestly, this tiny book felt like it would never end.
