I still to this day thinks that this novel surpassed The Hunger Games and 1984 in terms of dystopian genre.
The novel itself potrayed a lot of symbolism to our current modern world uniquely and more stronger than the other books.
Why isn’t it being discuss in the same level as hunger games or 1984? I’ve seen countless memes about 1984 than I do for the Brave New World.
for real… can’t really compare classics with the hunger games, come on…
I think it’s actually an interesting discussion piece. Are classics better just because their old? I’ve read many classics that are just bad or just haven’t aged well (HG Wells for example) and I’ve read a lot of modern books that are good and stuff that sucks. Are books like Harry Potter and the hunger games going to be considered modern classics or modern childrens classics like Alice in wonderland or tuck everlasting or just pop culture hits like on the road.
Longevity is what matters in the end, which is often based on perceived quality more than social popularity. Pop culture phenomenons sometimes fade away rather quickly.
