This has been one of the darkest and most uncomfortable reads I have done so far, which is unusual of me because I never shy away from books that has these themes.
You could say the author did such a good job of predicting what society 90+ years would look like, especially recently with the rise of fascism in the western world. Not to forget the normalization of narcotics consumption, fear of aging and looking your age, lust and lack of commitment between partners, social hierarchy and supremacy and being conditioned to believe that all this is normal behavior. Going to such extremes, all in the name of happiness
