Aldous Huxley: Brave new world and Brave new world revisited. (1969, Distributed by Heron Books)

No rating (0 reviews)

In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley prophesied a capitalist civilization, which had been reconstituted through scientific and psychological engineering, a world in which people are genetically designed to be passive and useful to the ruling class. Huxley opens the book by allowing the reader to eavesdrop on the tour of the fertilizing Room of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning center, where the high tech reproduction takes place. One of the characters, Bernard Marx, seems alone, harboring an ill-defined longing to break free. Satirical and disturbing, Brave New World
