The astonishing novel Brave New World originally published in 1932 presents Aldous Huxleys vision of the futureof a world utterly transformed. Through the most efficient scientific and psychological engineering people are genetically designed to be passive and therefore consistently useful to the ruling class. This powerful work of speculative fiction sheds a blazing critical light on the present and is considered to be Huxleys most enduring masterpiece.
