Brave New World is a novel by Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Set in the London of AD 2540 (632 A.F. in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology and sleep-learning that combine to change society. The future society is an embodiment of the ideals that form the basis of futurism. 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.
Anton Lesser reads from Aldous Huxley's classic 1932 tale about cloning, consumerism and chemical abandon; a vision of a world in which happiness is controlled by science. Abridged by Neville Teller.
