A must-read Classic

I had to read this book several years ago for my English class. After getting over the fact that it was a "must-read", I slowly noticed that this book is pretty good. After a while, it turned from "pretty good" to the best book I have ever read.

Overview
The story plays in the future, in a civilization that mainly consists of human beings that were artificially produced and "made" to fit in to a certain category of intelligence level.
The main goal of the system is to keep people happy and motivate them to consume as much as possible.
The main character is a naturally born and bred person who comes into this world.
I don't want to tell you more, my intention is to just give you an idea what the book is about.

Why it's good
The book has been written decades ago and the fascinating thing is that the described civilization actually comes pretty close to today's industrialized nations.
I do not like science fiction books that use monsters or extremely unrealistic technological inventions. Aldous Huxley tried to predict the future in a very realistic way, based on certain trends that started developing during his time. He did a great job and it is not too unlikely that the future that's still to come will actually be very, very close to the future he writes about.
I have read the book three times now and I keep finding interesting details that I had not noticed before.

Who should read this book ?
If you are into science fiction, this is a must-read. If you work in the field of biology or psychology, you should give it a try since it relates very much to these sciences and will make you think.
"Brave New World" even offers a love story, so those of you who need this are taken care of as well.

If you liked this book
Two similar classics are "1984" and "Fahrenheit 451". You will like them if you liked "Brave New World".
