Huxley, Aldous - ‘Brave New World’The irony in this book is fantastic. When I told a friend of mine several years back that ‘1984’ by George Orwell was my favorite book, she said that I couldn’t say that until I read ‘Brave New World’. Well, I read it and ‘1984’ is still number one. That’s not saying that ‘Brave New World’ didn’t rock my socks, as the kids say. Wait, do they still say that? But ‘1984’ was more my cup of tea. I see why she said what she said though. The ideas behind both books are very similar, but the way they manifest themselves is so completely different that they are easily discernable. I highly, highly recommend this book to anyone and everyone, whether you’re a fan of ‘1984’ or not.
