Brave New World
So there's this Bernard guy who lives in this like, engineered society and they're all "my mother was a test tube" and they make people for the jobs so the smart people like being smart and the rest all want to work in the restroom at mcdonalds and Bernard wants to hook up with this Lenina chick who's hot and they all just hook up whenever with whoever and go to movies and get wasted on soma, which is kinda like ecstasy. There's this guy John who's some kind of a savage on account of he likes Shakespeare, beating himself and thinks sex is nasty. His mother is all fat and they all think she's gross and John becomes kind of a Tarzan "look at the savage" guy but he can't talk to animals. The thing is, Aldous Huxley wrote this book in the 1930s and it's all party, sleep around, watch videos and do drugs. It's kinda like he saw the future and it was like Paris Hilton's bedroom or a rave or something. Eerie. (the scary kind, not the lake kind)
