Truly this is a dystopian book because of its peculiar and definitive standards of their world. A caste system is used for status,thousands of clones produced from few fertilized eggs. 500 years into the future, what surprised me was that emotion, history, arts, homes, a family were all discouraged and forgotten. The world is now based on society over the individual. A person works for the community, and that's that.

So far,I've concluded this book is not for the casual reader,as the author writes beyond the expectations of our society. I was a bit in shock that characters in this book have relations with anyone without emotion, but for fun. Lenina,a "pneumatic" girl seems to move from one lover to the next. I would read more as a character Bernard,sees more in Lenina than just pleasure. Maybe he can break the norm of the world.

I have yet to pick up a copy of the book, however I've chosen it because after reading some of the plot, dystopian realy is its genre as clones of humans seem to be produced then grouped into systems of Greek letters. This compares to the Hunger Games as the population was grouped socially by Districts.
