<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br> Huxley's story shows a futuristic World State where all emotion, love, art, and human individuality have been replaced by social stability. An ominous warning to the world's population, this literary classic is a must-read. <p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br> <p>The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's vision of the future--of a world utterly transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Huxley's most enduring masterpiece. <p></p> Following Brave New World is the nonfiction work Brave New World Revisited, first published in 1958. It is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with the prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World, including threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br> <p>Aldous Huxley's tour de force, <em>Brave New World</em> is a darkly satiric vision of a utopian future—where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying entertainment.</p> <p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br> "[A] masterpiece. ... One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century."--<em>Wall Street Journal</em>
