'Brave New World' by Aldous Huxley
Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Reproduction is controlled through genetic engineering, and people are bred into a rigid class system. As they mature, they are conditioned to be happy with the roles that society has created for them. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress...
This book is considered to be Huxley's masterpiece, his best works with many fantastic reviews...I hated it!!! This book was chosen by a member of the camp book club as she loved it when she read it many years ago. Oh what a hard read, I felt like pulling my teeth out would have been a better pass time than reading this!!
An interesting concept, but not at all enjoyable. Would not recommend at all!!
