Dystopian future reveals haunting parallels to today.

If you often contemplate the trajectory of our society and wonder where technology and consumer culture might take us, "Brave New World" will offer a profound and sometimes unsettling vision. Aldous Huxley's ability to intertwine a meticulously engineered utopia with the human yearning for meaning creates a narrative that's not just a cautionary tale but a conversation starter about human nature and future possibilities.

Description

With introductions by Margaret Atwood and David Bradshaw. Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress... Huxley's ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.
