This is a very strange little book. It took me forever to read it as I kept it in my uniform and only read a page or four as I waited for something or found myself with a break during the day.

I have been wanting to read this book for many years...ever since I found out Huxley was a distant relative. The plot was intense and disturbing, but a great story. It was very futuristic and questioning the scientific discoveries and theories of the time. Certainly a foreshadowing of the future MKUltra project conducted by the CIA.
This book is a unutopia. Basically, what happens when utopia is created for people. Is it really utopia? Or is it a world gone wrong? Good read. Hard to believe it was written while the world was going crazy in 1932.
