BRAVE NEW WORLD (I)

Wow. Brave New World is my kind of book. From the first chapter I can already see a myriad of themetacial elements that not only intrigue me but provoke contemplation/thought that only a distinct/thoughtful authorial craft like Huxley's can properly do justice. Right off the bat the cold, calculated tone further emphasizes the rational, no-non-sense future of Huxley's (hopefully) fictional future. I mean, humans barred from natural reproduction while selective traits are eliminated to produce specific qualities/characteristics in individuals which are then arbitrarily vetted into a fully exposed/instrumented societal-caste system?! The bleak (ironically) "utopia" of this novel is incredibly compelling from both a writer's perspicacity but so to a fan of science fiction. Ive always heard great things about this novel and, after reading this first chapter, well, lets just say i cant wait to further delve into this brave, new, world.
