There were somethings that were interesting and I see why it's a classic like 1984. The beginning was interesting explaining the caste system and how it's generated and people sorted. I was confused about the obsession with Freudian psychology, but I think it was written in the 30s while Freud's theory was the hottest new idea of the time.
Like 1984, many dystopian fiction take inspiration from this narrative. Since I've read a lot of contemporary dystopian fiction thanks to my utopian science fiction class during my undergrad years this wasn't anymore interesting then those, probably thanks to that class. I think I would've enjoyed it more had I read it before all those contemporaries.
