Brave New World by Aldous HuxleyMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Not as shocking as 1984 , BNW is probably more relevant. Keep the masses entertained, doped up, and conditioned to accept their lot in life, and you have the perfect society. Family bonds, literature, and science are all sacrificed to keep people from wanting more, having connections, or feeling anything real. It may not be as dramatic as Orwell but it's just as scary.
