Originally published in 1932, Aldous Huxley's astonishing literary tour de force, Brave New World, is widely considered one of the most startling, provocative, and prescient novels ever written. A darkly satiric vision of a "utopian" future-where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order; where war and disease have been obliterated at the cost of individuality, art, family, and love-it has enthralled and terrified readers for generations. A powerful work of speculative fiction, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow, and a breathtaking, thought-provoking, and supremely satisfving..e.latertainment.
