40. Brave New World - Aldous Huxley
This has nothing to do with Capitan America. And for the record, that movie had nothing to do with this book.
It's a Utopian nightmare!!! In a future where everyone is happy, why does it feel so wrong? Why do they grow babies in labs? Where did all these twins come from? What is the best Jason Statham movie?
The Phools are questioning everything!!!
