Reading Aldous Huxleyâs Brave New World was inspired by realising that I hadnât read any of a recent list stating the top twenty geek novels. Given that my impressions of geek literature being hardcore science fiction and adventures in elfworld it was pleasant to discover that this novel, over seventy years after its publication, is still fresh.
