Brave New World

Description

Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited have been compiled into this handsome one volume hardcover edition, and will include a new foreword by Christopher Hitchens The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Huxley’s vision of the future about 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 that sheds a blazing critical light on the present is considered to be Aldous Huxley’s most enduring masterpiece. The nonfiction work Brave New World Revisited, first published in 1958, is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World, including the threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion.
