| Aldous Huxley - Brave New World |
| One of the principal dystopian novels of the 20th Century. Its ironic title from ‘The Tempest’ has become a catch phrase for any development that threatens human liberty. Written in 1932, it examines the possible consequences of the mass production of humans to order. Passive obedience, material consumption and mindless drug assisted promiscuity are the virtues in this future state. Recognise anything?
Huxley feared above all “the inevitable acceleration of American world domination.” Recognise anything?
His ingenious fantasy of a harsh future sheds light on the present and is his most enduring masterpiece.
