Five novels I think about all the time - 1984: States crave control - The Trial: Bureaucracies eats people - The Stranger: Alienation is a vantage point - Animal Farm: Revolutions usually corrupt - Brave New World: Caste systems fence morality      source
The best science fiction book ever, definitely the most prescient.      source

Re-reading “Brave New World.” Forgot how wonderful it is - and how relevant, for a book first published in 1932. The themes, on happiness, solitude, freedom, danger, nature.. they’re still so resonant today. Highly recommend if you haven’t already read.      source
