Brave New World Revisited

Aldous Huxley's classic dystopian novel, Brave New World, published in 1932, imagined a future society ruled by science and managed by sophisticated social control mechanisms. Huxley tested the progress of his forecasts against reality nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited, arguing that many of his literary fancies had grown uncomfortably close to the fact. Huxley's thoughts on overpopulation, propaganda, advertising, and political control are included in Brave New World Revisited, which is an urgent and passionate call for the defence of individualism that is still dangerously relevant today.
