Aldous Huxley's visionary Brave New World is one of the world's greatest dystopian novels. In a society built on conformity, stability, and pervasive "happiness," individuals are not born, but manufactured into one of five distinct castesāfrom dull-witted laborers to leaders and thinkers. Even as embryos, people are conditioned and programmed not only to accept, but to enjoy their predestined livesāor is it their slavery?
Ā
But what happens when a savageāa man born from an actual motherāis introduced into this perfectly ordered society?
Ā
Brave New World is a masterpiece of literary satire, as appropriate today, in our world of endless, shallow distractions and ubiquitous mass media, as it was when it was first published in 1932.
