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.

    It could be that Fahrenheit 451 is the easiest for people in school to read and understand. brave new world has more philosophical debate parts, shakespeare references, and the ambiguous and confusing speaking scene with the characters towards the beginning while they’re being introduced. It might be the smartest of the 3 main dystopian books which means many people wont get of like it. 1984 does have the 2+2 part though.

    1984 wasn’t assigned in school for me and brave new world was…so idk. Maybe the totalitarianism in 1984 is just easier/more one sided for people to give opinions about. It’s easier to denounce the party’s actions.
