An interesting prediction of a totalitarian, classist, capitalist future. It's hard to accept a possible fascist future for the US that includes the complete abandonment of any sense of puritanical dogma and the patriarchal family unit and instead has a liberated sexual culture. Apparently a new show came out for this but it wasn't very good. They say this is among the top 100 greatest books of all time. Given my complete disinterest in reading fiction, I will abstain from commenting on this accolade. And I will abstain from recommending/not recommending either book in this category for that reason.
