Brave New World by Aldous Huxley
Brave new world is Aldous Huxley's masterpiece, written in 1932, which prophesied a society which expects maximum pleasure and accepts complete surveillance - no matter what the cost.
It has enthralled and terrified millions of readers, and retains its urgent relevance to this day as both a warning to be heeded as we head into tomorrow and as thought-provoking, satisfying work of literature. Written in the shadow of the rise of fascism during the 1930s, Brave New World likewise speaks to a 21st-century world dominated by mass-entertainment, technology, medicine and pharmaceuticals, the arts of persuasion, and the hidden influence of elites.
'A masterpiece of speculation... As vibrant, fresh, and somehow shocking as it was when I first read it' Margaret Atwood, bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale
**One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**
