An Introduction to Mathematical Reasoning (by Peter Eccles)
- djm 18y agoI read Brave New World when I was in college. I didn't find it a particularly good read to be honest but I liked the very direct way Huxley categorizes humans in his alpha to epsilon system and how everyone knew where they stood. In the real world everyone rates themselves in comparison to other people too, but most of the time the process is not very open. In the workplace people are prevented from saying what they think about other people by office politics, employment law, and HR policies against this and that. Probably the only place it is really transparent is in school (If memory servers correct there is a PG essay about this). Stranger in a strange land is definitely a great book and Heinlein has to be one of the greats of SF writing. Read 'the moon is a harsh mistress' too if you get the chance.
