The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley’s vision of the future—a world transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Aldous Huxley’s most enduring masterpiece.
“Revitalized classic through strong image and title combination.”
