Notes

Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before.
"One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century" Wall Street Journal
Cloning, feel-good drugs, antiaging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and mediahas Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storytellers genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 AF (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.
A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, Brave New World is both a warning to be heeded and thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment.
