I like the naming of the topics for each chapter. I like how painful and passionate and human the emotions are and the sharp contrast it creates with the mathematical precision and industrial efficiency that permeates this 26th century society. I like that the chapters are short so it's easy to keep on reading past midnight... And I like the mathematical symbolism and how directly it affects the political philosophy and ethics throughout the novel!Here's more for the interested: We, by Yevgeny Zamyatin (completed in 1921, thought to be the inspiration to Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World!).
