I think I was around your age when I first read that one too and it really struck a chord with me. All my other "future dystopian" books were ones like 1984, Fahrenheit 451, and A Clockwork Orange that painted the feature as this fascist state where freedoms were repressed. Brave New World however wasn't like that, it was vastly different and that's what made it stand out and started to make me think that even in a perfect world, there's always going to be evil.
