Almost all fantasy revolves around themes of extraordinary powers and characters of great strength, yet the people who are most attracted to it are the exact opposite - skinny, anti-social nerds.

I had a guy who insisted on bringing that book to 10th grade English in hardcover everyday to read while he was 5 minutes early for class. He ended up being buttdevastated when he got rejected from Harvard and "had" to go to Princeton. He is an awful spoiled brat and so now I just automatically think poorly of anyone who discusses or reads Pynchon as belonging to his own brand (the kid from high school) of shy smug arrogance.

It was Brave at the ending for them to escape. The novel is a double entendre that the people inside the dystopia consider it a "Brave New World" but those escaping are those (in the author's eyes) who truly are experiencing a Brave New World.
