  • Brave New World & Brave New World, Revisited

    Aldous Huxley, Martin Green

    Hardcover (New York: Harper & Row, 1965, March 15, 1995)
    One of the twentieth century's most profound and terrifying evocations of the future, BRAVE NEW WORLD is a brilliant, witty, and satiric novel of natural man in an unnatural world, of a civilization in which contemporary concepts of freedom and morality have become obsolete. Set in the year 632 After Ford, Huxley's world is one where human beings are scientifically mass-produced, classified (as Alphas, Betas, Gammas), and "decanted" in laboratory factories. Father and Mother are forbidden words; pleasure comes in euphoria-producing tablets; efficiency is the rule. With no place for emotions, God, or art, it is a horrifying, but often humorous, glimpse into a future perhaps not far from fact.In BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED, Huxley's equally famous essay, the author links the realities of the modern world to his fictional vision--demonstrating with unflinching logic the closeness of reality to his automated nightmare. Scrutinizing numerous methods for curtailing individual freedoms and the sometimes irresistible pressures to adopt them, the book is a fervent plea for humankind to educate itself for liberty before it is too late.Both written with Huxley's customary artistic skill and intellectual vigor, BRAVE NEW WORLD and BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED provide incisive and challenging views of the modern world that are still relevant today.

He scrutinizes threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. Brave New World Revisited is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.

  • Brave New World Revisited

    Aldous Huxley

    Paperback (HarperCollins Publishers, Jan. 1, 1965)
    This first Perennial Library edition (P23) was first published in 1965. It is the second edition published by Harper & Row. Much of the material was first published in Newsday under the title "Tyranny Of the Mind". When the novel Brave New World first appeared, in 1932, its shocking analysis of a scientific dictator­ship seemed a projection into the remote future. Today the science of thought control has raced far beyond the dreams of Hitler and Stalin. Methods for destroying individual freedom are being rapidly developed, and the pressures to adopt them are becoming increasingly powerful. Now, in one of the most important, fascinating, and frightening books of his career, Aldous Huxley scrutinizes these and other threats to humanity and demonstrates why we may find it virtually impossible to resist them. With overpowering impact, this book is a chal­lenge to complacency and a plea that mankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.
