About this product

Product Information

"Huxley uses his erudite knowledge of human relations to compare our actual world with his prophetic fantasy of 1931. It is a frightening experience, indeed, to discover how much of his satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time." -- New York Times Book Review When Aldous Huxley wrote his famous novel Brave New World , he did so with the belief that the dystopian world he created was a true possibility given the direction of the social, political and economic world order. Written more than twenty-five years later, Brave New World Revisited is a re-evaluation of his predictions based on the changes he witnessed over that time. In this twelve-part work of nonfiction, one of the most important and fascinating books of his career, Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy. He scrutinizes threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. Brave New World Revisited is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.

The last pages carry a somewhat tragic node about his misgivings whether man himself wishes to be saved." -- Time and Tide (London) "A thought jabbing, terrifying book." -- Chicago Tribune "Brilliantly written.... Should appeal to readers of all breeds." -- Kirkus Review, Huxley uses his erudite knowledge of human relations to compare our actual world with his prophetic fantasy of 1931.

Brave New World is amazing. Brave New World Revisited is brilliant. If Huxley was not a prophet in the traditional sense he certainly was perceptive. No, we don't have our rocket packs like some of the science fiction of yesterday promised but rest assured some science fiction comes true and it's not for the betterment of mankind. Huxley starts BNW Revisited by comparing the difference between his book and George Orwell's 1984. He makes the case that his book has a better chance of becoming fact. While he makes a great case, I don't think he realized that both 1984 and Brave New World could fit together like hand in glove. If he could have seen the United States today and where many see it headed the big picture would have come into focus. Wake up America! 5 HUGE stars
