Brave New World |
Book
Brave New World is a novel written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932. Set in London of AD 2540 (632 A.F. – After Ford – in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and operant conditioning that combine to profoundly change society. Huxley answered this book with a reassessment in an essay, Brave New World Revisited (1958) and with his final work, a novel titled Island (1962).In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Brave New World fifth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003, Robert McCrum writing for The Observer listed Brave New World number 53 in the top 100 greatest novels of all time, and the novel was listed at number 87 on the BBCs survey The Big Read.TitleBrave New Worlds title derives from Mirandas speech in William Shakespeares The Tempest, Act V, Scene I:...view more
