Brave New World

Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs and total social control through politics, programming and the media: Has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With the genius of a storyteller, he weaves these ethical controversies into a compelling narrative beginning in the year 632 AF (after Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a wilderness reserve, we experience how utopia can destroy humanity. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has captivated and terrified readers for generations, Brave New World is both a warning to heed and thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment. - Container.
