Brave New World

Aldous Huxley

Released Date:

07/10/1932

Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” envisions a future society where humans are genetically engineered, socially conditioned, and pharmaceutically numbed to maintain an authoritarian regime. This dystopian world sacrifices freedom and humanity for stability and control.

Huxley’s masterpiece remains a profound and relevant warning about the potential consequences of unchecked technological and political power.

Originally published on June 8, 1949, the 75th anniversary edition of George Orwell’s “1984” includes a new introduction by Dolen Perkins-Valdez and a new afterword by Sandra Newman.

Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth, where he alters historical records to match the Party’s current narrative. Each lie he writes makes him despise the Party more, which seeks power for its own sake and punishes independent thinking. As Winston begins to think for himself, he realises he cannot escape the constant surveillance of Big Brother. “1984” presents a believable dystopian world that has captivated readers for generations, with its warnings becoming more relevant over time.
