Welcome To The Archive for "Brave New World"! Yay!

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State of genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning, that are combined to make a utopian society that goes challenged only by a single outsider. Huxley followed this book with a reassessment in essay form, Brave New World Revisited, and with his final novel, Island, the utopian counterpart. The novel is often compared to George Orwell’s 1949 Nineteen Eighty-Four.
