Brave New World

Brave New World: Book 1

Aldous Huxley

Set in a dystopian future, Brave New World presents a highly controlled society where technology, genetic engineering, and psychological conditioning have eliminated personal freedom, emotional depth, and individuality. People are created in laboratories, divided into castes, and kept content through a pleasure-inducing drug called soma.

The story follows Bernard Marx, an outsider within the system, and John the Savage, a man raised outside of the World State. When John is brought into the highly ordered society, his values clash with its emptiness and artificial happiness. His struggle exposes the dehumanizing effects of a world that prioritizes comfort and stability over truth and humanity.

Brave New World Revisited

Brave New World: Book 2

Aldous Huxley

When the novel Brave New World first appeared in 1932, its shocking analysis of a scientific dictatorship seemed a projection into the remote future. Here, in one of the most important and fascinating books of his career, Aldous Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy. He scrutinizes threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. Brave New World Revisited is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.
