Brave New World is without a doubt one of my favorite 5 books. Brilliant in so many regards. A mixture of technology, Shakespeare, and Plato, with a million other little ideas and a great and compelling plot. Fantastic.
You've probably read more than me, to be honest. I'm trying to get deeper into the stuff now that it's summer and I don't need to spend my reading time on novels for school. |
lews, check out fahrenheit 451, by ray bradbury, if you like brave new world.
Really short, straight to the point, brilliant and underrated sci-fi/dystopian novel
I've done a lot of reading in my day, not for the last couple years though, but consider myself pretty well read at least in the classics... Havn't done heaps of sci-fi reading, and if it is sci-fi it's usually just dystopian stuff (like 1984, brave new world), rather than star-wars type proper sci-fi..
I loved Ender's Game by orson scott card, if you havn't read that: Tis more normal sci-fi, but with great plot and twists
