It's been a while then since it was. I've been out of school 20 years and we didn't read it. I think the closest we got to dystopian warnings or whatever you'd call it was Animal Farm. I was in a suburb of a small city in a red southern state too, nowhere even close to a big city.
Huxley really got into hallucinogens so he's a bit different. The book is really good and covers how people are programmed for responses very well.
Brave New World used to be necessary reading to graduate in the US. Surprised more people haven't read it.

Definitely my favourite part when the characters give canned responses to certain situations. Not unlike leftist npc's.
