Brave New World


Fantastic bit of science fiction dealing with the moral implications of modernization.  It's hard to believe that this came out in 1932!  Definitely ahead of its time.

I feel like the ending was a little anti-climactic, but it was also probably the best ending that it could have been.  8.5/10, would read again.
