Brave New World Revisited
Aldous Huxley
In this “brilliantly written” book, the author of Brave New World reflects on his dystopian classic—and its echoes in the real world decades later (Kirkus Reviews).
Anyone concerned with preserving the human spirit in the face of our "brave new world" must listen to and comprehend Aldous Huxley's timeless "masterpiece" (Wall Street Journal), which has been hailed as "one of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century."
When the novel Brave New World first appeared in 1932, its shocking analysis of a scientific dictatorship seemed a projection into the remote future. Here, in one of the most important and fascinating books of his career, Aldous Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy. He scrutinizes threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. Brave New World Revisited is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.
