Is ours a Brave New World?

Date of Review:  Jan 8, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is an eerily predictive novel, the relevance of which is undiminished by time, and which is entirely deserving of its status as a modern classic.
Review: Teaser:
Though it was written in 1932, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World remains as relevant and chilling today as it was 70 years ago.

The Setup:
My memory of it was rather hazy before I revisited it yesterday, as it had been a...

Huxley's Brave New World. Sex, Drugs and Rock n' Roll....26th Century Obligations

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2006
The Bottom Line: Read this book if you enjoy sardonic tear-downs of consumer society. Read quickly over the Bronte-esque interludes.
Review: This book springs from one problem with large industrialized societies.

There is a need in such a society for a very large number of persons to perform manual, menial or service jobs. There is a need for relatively few persons to perform...

  Saturday Review: "Mr. Huxley is eloquent in his declaration of an artist's faith in man, and it is his eloquence, bitter in attack, noble in defense, that, when one has closed the book, one remembers--rather than his cleverness and his wit, which one admires and forgets."

Paperback, Brave New World
Aldous Huxley's tour de force, Brave New World is a darkly satiric vision of a "utopian" future-where humans are genetically bred and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought- provoking, satisfying entertainment.
