false 5479 12 <p>The astonishing novel <b>Brave New World</b>, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's vision of the future--of a world utterly transformed. Thru the most efficient scientific & psychological engineering, people are genetically designed to be passive & therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present & is considered to be Huxley's most enduring masterpiece.</p> <p>Following <b>Brave New World</b> is the nonfiction work <b>Brave New World Revisited</b>, first published in 1958. It is a fascinating work in which Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with the prophetic fantasy envisioned in <b>Brave New World</b>, including threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda & chemical persuasion.</p> 938800 1958 Brave New World and Brave New World Revisited (P.S.) total:1911|5:641|4:697|3:424|2:108|1:41| 1911 7522 2631 192 5 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 27 08:01:29 -0800 2007 Thu Jan 17 20:57:44 -0800 2008 Does something sound wrong in this quote?
