Brave New World opens Goodreads in a new tab

Huxley's classic novel presents a searching vision of an unequal, technologically advanced future in which humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order. In the World State, all emotion, love, art, and individuality have been replaced by stability. Bernard Marx, an Alpha who feels out of place, and John, a Savage raised outside the system, struggle to find a place in the brave new world. A fantasy of the future that sheds a blazing critical light on the present.
