In BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED Huxley checks the progress of his prophecies in his seminal novel BRAVE NEW WORLD thirty years after it was first published. Covering issues such as overpopulation, propaganda, the art of selling and brainwashing as well as drugs and political control Huxley gives prescient warnings to the reader. A vigorous, astute analysis of the nature of power and authority in modern society, BRAVE NEW WORLD REVISITED is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism.

Industry Reviews

"A brilliant tour de force, Brave New World may be read as a grave warning of the pitfalls that await uncontrolled scientific advance. Full of barbed wit and malice-spiked frankness. Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling" - Observer

"Such ingenious wit, derisive logic and swiftness of expression, Huxley's resources of sardonic invention have never been more brilliantly displayed" - The Times

"A fantastical look at the world in the future which made me look differently at the present" - Katie Melua Observer

"Lucid and well-reasoned...one is captivated by Huxley's knowledge and his even more extraordinary intelligence" - Sunday Times
