A word of warning: this is primarily a satirical novel, so it makes merciless fun of everything and everyone. If your sensibilities are easily offended, you might want to read something else. Also, there is no defined single main character. The hero here is all of humanity, all of humankind, with all of its vices and virtues.
Please do not confuse a systems novel with a novel featuring a system: they are different beasts. A systems novel is about the systems that make a society work - s.e.x, economics, politics, ideologies, science, and so on. If this sounds dry to you, rest a.s.sured that The Brave New World contains plenty of adventure, and it's a very easy read.
The Table of Contents will be helpful if you prefer to follow a single subplot: it lets you identify which chapters are about the characters you are interested in. But be warned: the first fifty chapters or so all contain important information about the whole New World setup. It is quite complex, and it might be better to read the initial chapters in their original sequence before focusing on reading about a specific set of characters.
I chose this approach over using a ten-chapter information dump; it would have made for a very heavy start. Once past that, the story focuses on a single subplot for a number of chapters at a time, somewhat like a series of novellas.
I hope you enjoy reading this more than I enjoy writing it. You know - it's hard, at times.
