Re: Book recommendations urgently needed
@BGT Lover, yeah, read Huxley quite a few years ago, it was interesting to compare with Orwell's 1984, indeed I've seen those two along with handmaid's tale called the three great dystopias.
Huxley was an interesting idea philosophically, though slightly dated in some scientific and social ideas, EG the importance of sleep teaching.
Orwell's is more shocking and though he was probably wrong about the consequences of surveillance, look around society today and you'll find some really frightening examples of double think (there are some very scary ones around Donald Trump).
Obviously Atwood is different again, being more character focused, and focused on a dystopea which specifically exacerbates the more horrible social and religious extreme opression and control of women and reproduction, as well as a more general social totalitarianism.
All three are worth reading imho, though Huxley's is probably the most entertaining as a novel, while the other two are just plane grim.
@Camlorn, Ericson, as I said, I probably need to try. I have heard if people get through the first book, the rest of the series is okay, but the first book can be a bit slow and incomprehensible.
