Dystopian reality check on Huxley's own prophecies.
If you're digging deeper into the impacts of technology and control on society, "Brave New World Revisited" feels like Aldous Huxley grabbing your shoulders, giving you a shake, and pointing out where his fiction is starting to look all too real. It's a stark, compelling follow-up that holds a mirror up to the modern world, asking questions that are as relevant now as they were when Huxley first raised them. If "Brave New World" was a wake-up call, consider this the lingering alarm that you can't snooze.

A vigorous, astute analysis of the nature of power and authority in modern society, Brave New World Revisited is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism.
