Description:Very Good + FIRST EDITION. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. Bound in the...Very Good + FIRST EDITION. 12mo-over 6¾"-7¾" tall. Bound in the publishers original fine weave blue cloth with gilt title lettering to spine. This is the first impression of one of the most important books of modern literature. All pages are present and correct with no inscriptions and are tightly bound. Book sits solid and square. Pages are clean and free of foxing, unusual for a volume of this age, having been well protected by the boards over the years. The paper used in its production is of a particularly good quality resulting in the pages being relatively umarked. Gilt title lettering to spine remains sharp and bright with no fading. Light overall wear and signs of handling. Marked to the front board and a light crease to the spine of the binding but a presentable copy nontheless. This was the work for which Aldous Huxley would forever be associated with even though his output of other titles was prolific to say the least. A clean and tidy copy in presentable condition. Photographs are available on request.

Social engineering is not Stalinian " Big Brother" nor workplace obsolescence but sensual conditioning: movies become the "feelies"; recordings during sleep make on love one's class (white, green etc); "soma" pills regulate reproducitve ...

Really didn't much enjoy the writers style and quite honestly didn't find the book that interesting. Primarily read it because of the many references to it in other texts. Didn't expect a lot and didn't get a lot.

The future possibilities are so true it's disturbing. It takes the what-ifs of the unknown, of the future, and turns it into a world where everything glorified in the present is taken to the extreme.
Who's to decide what is superior? Why does technology, science, materialism, sexuality, standardization ...

Brave new world is a creepy view into what the world could become. With everyone genetically engineered to do their job and brain washed to not ask any questions. It tells the story of a man who asks all the wrong questions and does not want to comform to society.
