Notes From Your BooksellerThe masterpiece of a master, Brave New World dares readers to deny how real the "brave new world" contained within feels. Standing shoulder to shoulder with Orwell’s 1984, the prophetic powers of such stories cannot and must not be ignored or written off as merely fiction.
Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, first written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society which is challenged by only a single individual: the story's protagonist.
