Witty, thrilling and uncannily prophetic: Brave New World remains a startling warning against a future that seems eerily present already
Klappentext zu „Brave New World “
WITH INTRODUCTIONS BY MARGARET ATWOOD AND DAVID BRADSHAWFar in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress...
Huxley's ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.

Rezension zu „Brave New World “
"A fantastical look at the world in the future which made me look differently at the present" -- Katie Melua Observer 20041221 "A brilliant tour de force, Brave New World may be read as a grave warning of the pitfalls that await uncontrolled scientific advance. Full of barbed wit and malice-spiked frankness. Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling" Observer "Such ingenious wit, derisive logic and swiftness of expression, Huxley's resources of sardonic invention have never been more brilliantly displayed" The Times "A decade ago we smug inhabitants of the information technology age thought Huxley's socio-biological satire had called history wrong. Then along came stem-cells" James Hawes "Not a work for people with tender minds and weak stomachs" J.B. Priestly
Pressezitat
Huxley's nightmare, set out in Brave New World, his great dystopian novel, was that we would be undone by the things that delight us Guardian
