Brave New World

[jokerman]

Scary? In what respect? The hilarious mispredictions?

Heh. Did better than 1984 in the prediction business, anyhow.

To be fair the book still has 500 more years to unfold.

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.
