About this product
Product Information
A towering classic of dystopian satire, BRAVE NEW WORLD is a brilliant and terrifying vision of a soulless society--and of one man who discovers the human costs of mindless conformity. Hundreds of years in the future, the World Controllers have created an ideal civilization. Its members, shaped by genetic engineering and behavioral conditioning, are productive and content in roles they have been assigned at conception. Government-sanctioned drugs and recreational sex ensure that everyone is a happy, unquestioning consumer; messy emotions have been anesthetized and private attachments are considered obscene. Only Bernard Marx is discontented, developing an unnatural desire for solitude and a distaste for compulsory promiscuity. When he brings back a young man from one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old unenlightened ways still continue, he unleashes a dramatic clash of cultures that will force him to consider whether freedom, dignity, and individuality are worth suffering for. Aldous Huxley's ingenious fantasy of a future of mechanical efficiency and engineered harmony has been enormously influential for generations, and is as provocative, powerful, and riveting as when it was first published in 1932.

Good book but in a bit of a state
I know a 2nd hand isnt perfect but the pages have fallen out of this in chunks and there are hand written notes on it in pen. See pic. 6 quid isnt cheap for a book in this state really.

Obscure
Yes - obscure. Difficult to follow the story line; too much irrelevant side-stories. But all of that is just my opinion: others may really like it. All a matter of personal taste.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

The best of the best!
A timeless masterpiece that has not aged in its observations and it’s view of a bleak clinical future that the Savage becomes part of. As good now as it was when I read it in 1970.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
