I remember that TV version too, though I was a bit older! I can't remember if it's prompted me to read the book, although I did while I was still in my Iowa high school. As part of an English literature class. It was nice to have a teacher lead smart discussions about what Huxley was trying to say.

Fortunately, it was an advanced class that usually only serious students took, so we didn't have a lot of yucks from the sidelines.

I can't help but think about how A Brave New World is now banned for all high school students in Iowa.

This is where we are.
