Safe to say it’s THE dystopian for a reason… this book is far from perfect and I can and probably will rant about the parts I didn’t like and could have been removed in the coming months however overall it’s an engaging, terrifying and brainwashing experience. As a reader you are continually confused and questioning systems, trust loses all its meaning and you catch a glimpse of just how terrifying it would have been for this to have been a prediction of your livable future! I especially loved the 1940s psychology elements- Freudian and post war psychological methods dominate the latter half of this book and these are the elements that had me most engaged and raised the overall book by about a star! The ending is predictable and mundane and yet awfully fitting - i do love a theory of cyclicality within literature so will likely ramble about that element of this as well! Is this book revolutionary to me? No, however I completely see its appeal and how revolutionary it would have been within its context🕺
