About this product

Product Information

Witty, thrilling and uncannily prophetic- Brave New World remains a startling warning against a future that seems eerily present already Brave New World predicts - with eerie clarity - a terrifying vision of the future. Read the dystopian classic that inspired the Sky TV series. EVERYONE BELONGS TO EVERYONE ELSE Welcome to New London. Everybody is happy here. Our perfect society achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family and history itself. Now everyone belongs. You can be happy too. All you need to do is take your Soma pills. Discover the brave new world of Aldous Huxley's classic novel, written in 1932, which prophesied a society which expects maximum pleasure and accepts complete surveillance - no matter what the cost. 'A masterpiece of speculation... As vibrant, fresh, and somehow shocking as it was when I first read it' Margaret Atwood, bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale 'A grave warning... Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling' Observer **One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**

  • great read, interesting and imaginative

    If you like Orwells 1984 then you will love this book also. It is imaginative yet 'real-life' like, I like the way it sets the scenes and describes the scenes, easy flow to the book also. Good read with a twist on 'the new world order' type scenario.

  • It's a book.

    How can anyone 'rate' a classic? Of course it's good, perceptive, thought provoking - all that stuff. It's a bit dated now of course. Overpopulation is now an understood problem, so Huxley's scientific utopia seems strangely obsessed with the drive to procreation of the species. If you want me to say something bad about it? It's short. The characterization is a bit shallow - but then again, it wasn't intended as 'great literature'. He just wanted to make a point.

  • Certainly food for thought in this day and age. The rich get all the privileges and the little people are just sheep.

    It's a great classic
