Brave New World - Aldous Huxley

Since the last time I posted in this blog, I have slightly postponed my reading of Bioshock Rapture, as I have been reading Brave New World by Aldous Huxley instead.
Brave New World is a very interesting book, set in London in 2540. It takes place in a society where humans are breed and families don't exist. The entire population of Earth (or almost all of it) is broken up into classes determined at birth, so that everyone serves for the whole of the society. So far, I am enjoying it a lot, and I think a lot of the things that the book "predicts" are still relevant today, like the censorship of AP US History in the real world, and the covering up of history in the book.
