What are readers saying about Brave New World?

Everyone is on drugs and has sex with everyone else. It reminds me of a certain part of the population of my high school, or at least my perception of that population.What is interesting is that while this lifestyle of drugged-up, subhuman stupor is forced upon the population in the book, many of us in the real world choose this lifestyle, or wish for it, in whole or in part. And ironically, many of those who claim the right to drug themselves and sleep around do it on the basis of "freedom", when in reality the end of their existence is the same type of slavery inflicted upon the majority of the characters in Brave New World. So what will it be for our society? The order, comfort, and stability of control, as has been sold to us by our politicians for the past 10 or so decades, or the chaos, pain, and fulfillment of freedom?

It's a rather disturbing book. Very vivid descriptions, a lot of technical terms. Confusing. But good.

First dystopian novel I had to force myself through. Maybe I'll read it again sometime. I had difficulty understanding what was going on a fair bit.
