Huxley Aldous Brave New World Revisited
In his 1932 classic dystopian novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control. Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited, Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley's views on overpopulation, propaganda, advertising and government control, and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

Huxley Aldous Brave New World
'The greater a man s talents, the greater his power to lead astray' This prescient novel describes a future in which an 'ideal society has come to pass, controlled by a variety of forces, including genetic engineering, indoctrination and drugs. Seemingly alone in his scepticism, the 'Alpha Plus' psychologist Bernard Marx begins to voice critical opinions about this brave new world.... Aldous Huxley's skilful prose coolly depicts a world in which spontaneous human desires and emotions have been overwritten by psychically anaesthetizing public mantras - 'everyone belongs to everyone else', 'everybody's happy nowadays'. His brilliantly realized vision of a bland yet menacing dystopia sounded a bleak warning during the inter-war years of 1930s Britain, and resonates as much today as it did on publication.

Huxley Aldous Brave New World
Not so far into the future, the world has become a single supranational state, ruled by a council of World Controllers. Consumerism has replaced religion, science has eliminated illness and ageing; the happiness of all is ensured by genetic engineering, brainwashing, recreational sex and tranquilizing drugs. But Bernard Marx feels alienated from a society in which 'everybody belings to everybody else' and begins to show alarming signs of individualism. When he plucks a Shakespeare-reasing 'Savage' from a South American reservation and brings him back to Lodnon, two incompatible views of the world come into conflict, with dramatic results. First published in 1932, Huxley's bleak dystiouan novel explores the very real dangers of social and technological progress, questions the nature of freedom and uncovers the dark side of mankind's seemingly insationable appetite for amusement.
