Brave New World
by Aldous Huxley
In the distant future, the Earth Controllers have created an ideal society. Thanks to genetic engineering, brainwashing and the wise use of recreational sex and drugs, all of its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems lonely, hiding an ill-conceived longing for emancipation. Visiting one of the few remaining reservations of the Savage, where the old, imperfect life still persists, can be a remedy for his misfortune... Huxley's brilliant fantasy about the future sheds light on the present and is considered his most enduring masterpiece. Huxley followed this book with a re-evaluation in the form of an essay with Brave New World Revisited, and his latest novel, Island, a utopian colleague.
