I prefer Brave New World to 1984. They both are essentially a similar 'warning', but Brave New World being written Pre-WWII is a less "doom and gloom" approach to things. Plus, who doesn't like the name Centrifugal Bumble Puppy!?
I keep hoping that someday, a good director will make a good film of BNW. The attempts so far have been.... incredibly lackluster.
As a side note, I have a Warcraft character named "jondasavage", it was the closest I could get to John the Savage. I have enjoyed the whispers I have gotten about the name from people who get the reference.
If you can find it, The "Authorized Restored" version of Metropolis is just amazing, and can be picked up on Amazon for 22.99.
I hope you get a chance to read BNW soon.
