This dystopian classic blends a bleak but advanced future, full of new inventions and practices, with a classic plot of love, self-discovery, and tragedy. Huxley's book, although over eighty years old, still reads very fresh and entertaining. I also enjoy when some of the characters go on philosophical tangents. I can't decide if Lenina's perspective, the main female character, is dated or perhaps descriptive of the future's effect on women; she seems shallow, only coming in touch with her surface emotions. A great read, I'm interested to check out more of Aldous Huxley's work.
