Brave New World by Aldous Huxley (1998, Paperback, Reprint)

I dont know how I got recommended to this book,I think it was maybe a college prof of mine, but it was suprisingly different from any other books I had read from this era. Set in a future where promiscuity and a "deviant" lifestyle are the norm, it uses individualtity or the want to different (actually more conservative than the status quo) as the catalyst for the civil unrest that is the main storyline of the book. There are a ton of life lessons glimpsed as warnings about excess, and possibaly too much technology, being the stumbling blocks for this society. A very good and different read, I have read it several times myself.
