Huxley writes about a world of ADD, Prozac, prenatal genetic testing, open sexual promiscuity, and rampant consumerism. This novel's warnings about our age would have been worth noting had Huxley wrote them last year, but Brave New World was originally published in 1932!The narrative is solid, even if it starts slow, its parallels to contemporary life keep the reader engaged until the second act when the story becomes truly gripping. I cannot say enough about the power of this book. It's a Western classic and a must-read for contemporary Christians...heck, for anyone. Christianity Today listed it in it's Most Important books of the Twentieth Century, and it deserves to be.
