"It is a frightening experience... to discover how much of this satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time."  - New York Times Books Review

When the novel Brave New World first appeared in 1932, its shocking analysis of a scientific dictatorship seemed a projection into the remote future.

Here, in one of the most important and fascinating books of his career, Aldous 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 its too late.

"A thought jabbing, terrifying book."  - Chicago Tribune

"Brilliantly written... Should appeal to readers of all breeds."  - Kirkus Review

"A message which enforced by Mr. Huxley's seriousness and clear dealing with social problems, we cannot ignore...  The last pages carry a somewhat tragic note about his misgivings whether man himself wishes to be saved."  - Time and Tide (London)

ALDOUS HUXLEY was born in Surrey, England, in 1984 and is the author of fiction and nonfiction, including Brave New World and Eyeless in Gaza.
