Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
'Huxley was uncannily prophetic, a more astute guide to the future than any other 20th-century novelist...Nineteen Eighty-Four has never really arrived, but Brave New World is around us everywhere' J.G.Ballard
Far in the future, the World controllers have created the ideal society. Through clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all its members are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems alone in harbouring an ill-defined longing to break free. Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress...
Huxley's ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.
