More about the book
Originally published in 1932, Aldous Huxley's astonishing literary tour de force, 'Brave new world' is widely considered one of the most startling, provocative, and prescient novels ever written. A darkly satiric vision of a 'utopian' future - where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order; where war and disease have been obliterated at the cost of individuality, art, family, and love - it has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. A powerful work of speculation fiction, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we had into tomorrow, and a breathtaking, thought-provoking, and supremely satisfying entertainment.
