Brave New World turns 75.
The New Atlantis has a great article about it.

I didn't like the book...
None of the characters were protaganists to me. The "future" didn't seem that bad (minus the whole class structure) and was 1000 times better than the old world..

You just want to have sex with negroes in helicopters.
But then again, who doesn't?

Well of course!
But seriously, I found books like 1984, fahrenheit 541, We, chrysalids and the Koran to be better dystopian novels.

I agree. Never read "Chrysalids" though.
