Edition DescriptionReprint

SynopsisThe 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. 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.

To get this famous book for so little money is a miracle!
Have not finished this book yet, but I ordered it based on a recommendation someone recommended in another book review he wrote in the WSJ. I trust it will teach me a lot about things I should know or at least recognize in our current world's affairs and troubles.

A 1930s look into a world that might look somewhat similar to a life we live today. Open your mind and try to learn from the classic
I enjoyed it

Too dystopian for my taste.
A totally negative way of looking at the future.
