Am I the only one who thought Brave New World was a good society, and would rather live there then the present?

The society obviously wasn't ideal, but I had a higher opinion of it than most of my classmates.

Yeah, I can understand why some people could think it was dystopian but I hate it when people describe it as a "nightmare" akin to 1984.

Its a horribly nihilistic book, if one concludes that that outcome is inevitable for modernity; if it is, one's better off joining Al Qaeda or Ted Kaczynski off in the woods.  I don't know enough about Huxley to say if that's the case.

What a silly thing to say.
