My Thoughts
I wanted to read this because its reputation proceeds itself. it is for sure a classic. and a quick read. I did find it a little difficult to grasp the authors version of what the future looked like, however a classic not the less and a must read. On a side note I have watched the older original movie and the remake that HBO has made recently and really haven't been a fan of either. let me know if you have any other recommendations!
