This is for those who liked "1984" and/or "Brave New World".....you might want to read the "original" Big Brother story of "We" by Yevgeny Zamyatin. It was written decades before both "1984" and "Brave New World", yet is still not as famous as either one of those great books. It was written in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and was not allowed to be published there (too many similarities between the story in the book and real life in the USSR under Stalin). Just a suggestion. :)

Ah, I have read this book, and I like it very much :)

I do really like Brave New World that much. In fact, I found that my hopes for it were extremely above the satisfaction that I felt upon reading it... oh well :(

I will look into reading both "We" and "Brave New World"

I recently read 1984, and I absoluetly loved it (while also being scared at the same time).

read both 1984 and Brave New World; both books have profound meanings in their own ways and are limitlessly interesting and captivating. Definitely wil look into reading We.
