Synopsis: Widely regarded as one of the great classic examples of dystopian fiction (along with Orwell's 1984), Brave New World is a chilling tale of a world where humanity has given up love, art, freedom, and even choice, all in the name of stability and happiness.This stability is rocked when the long-lost son of one of their highest caste is found living on a savage reservation. Devoid of the careful subliminal education that all people normally receive, the savage stands as a contradiction to everything that society values. His presence in their midst forces others to question these same values, and threatens to change their lives forever.This collection also includes Brave New World Revisited, an essay written by Huxley almost 30 years after Brave New World was published, examining the ways in which the future he imagined became reality, and what could be done to stop it.
