Brave New World
Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley. Time Incorporated, 1963. Time Reading Program Special Edition. Vintage paperback.
Huxley’s best-known work, Brave New World is a masterpiece of speculative dystopian science fiction. In a world dominated by technocrats, the masses are segregated into genetically-engineered castes, controlled through hedonistic pleasures and pharmaceuticals.
In an age that has seen rapid advancements in both technology and medicine— AI, robotics, even genetic manipulation— Huxley’s novel is perhaps more compelling now than ever. More than just a richly complex and spectacular feat of imagination, Brave New World is a wake-up call, a warning against the dangers of uninhibited scientific advancement and amoral utilitarianism. As humanity develops the tools to build higher and higher Babels, we must also develop the principled restraint to decide our limits. Let Icarus not fly too closely to the sun.
A very good vintage paperback. Some soiling to wrappers and top edge; clean interior. Owner signature to ffep.
