Witty, thrilling and uncannily prophetic: Brave New World remains a startling warning against a future that seems eerily present already
Welcome to New London. Everybody is happy here.
Our perfect society achieves peace and stability by dispensing with 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.This is the brave new world of Aldous Huxley's deeply sinister and prophetic novel, a society based on maximum pleasure and complete surveillance - no matter 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__
INTRODUCED BY MARGARET ATWOOD AND DAVID BRADSHAW
