Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley [adult fiction]
by Wendy, 12th grader
In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, life is perfect — no disease, no hate, no war, just endless fun and games in their utopian society. But happiness is equivalent to ignorance, and what it means to be truly human is lost. When a man named John comes to live in the “civilized world” from his remote Indian reservation, his humanity comes to a clash with society’s norms and all hell breaks loose. Excellent for lit students, psychology students, and sci-fi lovers.
