Brave New World Revisited

<p><strong>Huxley uses his erudite knowledge of human relations to compare our actual world with his prophetic fantasy of 1931. It is a frightening experience indeed to discover how much of his satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time. -- <em>New York Times Book Review</em></strong></p><p>When Aldous Huxley wrote his famous novel <em>Brave New World</em> he did so with the belief that the dystopian world he created was a true possibility given the direction of the social political and economic world order. Written more than twenty-five years later <em>Brave New World Revisited</em> is a re-evaluation of his predictions based on the changes he witnessed over that time.</p><p>In this twelve-part work of nonfiction one of the most important and fascinating books of his career Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy. He scrutinizes threats to humanity such as overpopulation propaganda and chemical persuasion and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. <em>Brave New World Revisited</em> is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late. </p>
