Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before.
“One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century” —Wall Street Journal
Cloning, feel-good drugs, antiaging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media—has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller’s genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 AF (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.
A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, Brave New World is both a warning to be heeded and thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment.

Very weird but interesting classic. Not something you waste your time with, but not something to be amazed by either. Certainly has to be appreciated in the light of the time it was written in. Character development and behavior is very jarring and unconvincing, it feels like the author never met a human in their life. The voices are done somewhat mediocrely, I mixed up some characters in the beginning because the reader switched between voices seemingly at random.
