Book Review: so began my love for dystopian lit
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was 16, I was exposed to Aldous Huxley's futuristic world. So began my love for dystopian literature. His world of soma and alphas is haunting, and I think that the virtual reality found in that book comes alarmingly close to what we now encounter. Perhaps I think highly of this book because I was young and hadn't read anything like it before (I still must read 1984!). When I read Margaret Atwood's dystopian lit., I often think of pictures Huxley painted with his words. This should be on all high school require reading lists; it was on mine. I have to go back to my childhood home and pull up my dog-eared highlighted--and just darn old--copy.
