5.0

Far and away my favorite dystopian novel. Starting with the dystopian horrors of genetic engineering and ending with a scathing rebuff of both future and modern civilization, this story strikes the balance between engaging story and harsh warning perfectly. It's settling on the importance of struggle and effort is not only incredibly prescient, but serves a stark warning to complacency in a life meant only to satisfy and never to nourish.
