Another book with a terrifying possibility of the future. Everyone is mass produced to be a certain way, a certain belief and a certain societal level.
I know they don't know any better, but the Epsilons (and even most above them) don't stand a chance. They don't have any way of doing better for themselves, or even know there is a better. They're taught that where they are is perfect.
I had a problem from the start when they talk about the different "castes". They purposely make some people low ring and they are just destined to do nothing. It's really frustrating (but I know, that's probably the point).
Overall, great book. I see why it's a classic, and with the world where it is now.... It's even more terrifying bc the technology is far superior to what the book has, and there are those who have no problem hurting others for their own gain... Not a brave new world for me. A terrifying distopian world.
