Product Description

New York Times Book Review"

"It is a frightening experience.... to discover how much of his satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time."

Time and Tide, London

"A message which, enforced by Mr. Huxley's seriousness and clear dialectic on dealing with social problems, we cannot ignore.... The last pages carry a somewhat tragic node about his misgivings whether man himself wishes ot be saved."

5.0 out of 5 stars Why is it called Brave New World REVISITED?, Aug 10 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Brave New World Revisited (Paperback)

After much confusion I determined to look at this copy and find out why it has Revisited in the title. I found that the there was a Forward with Huxley's personal reflections and he considers this novel and what he might change if he re-wrote it. Other than that, I can not see the difference between this and the original.

I hope that helps. Happy reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant, April 9 2002

By A Customer

Aldous Huxley brings up a lot of interesting points about our society. He also conveys some realistic visions for the future. It is not outdated at all. Only some of the facts, and its scary because a lot of his predictions came true faster than he guess. The main thing i noticed was his prediction of the world population. It is really out of control and is growing exponentially. If you look at graphs on websites of world population it honestly looks like a backward .L. anyways, its a good read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A historial look at the current world, Nov 15 2001

By	Jim Richards "mr_grumpy" (Sydney, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Although this book was written over 40 years ago, and is a reflection on a book written over 60 years ago the issues it covers are surprisingly relevant in today's society. Throughout the book Huxley contrasts his work with George Orwell's 1984, and the (then) state of the post WW2 world and current scientific discovery. Covering issues such as overpopulation, propaganda, the art of selling and brainwashing as well as drugs and political control he gives prescient warnings to the reader. My personal favourite chapter, The Art of Selling is an excellent analysis of the (then) new art of marketing. The final chapter though, is a call to activism through education of the people. The book is very accessible, and if you have not read Brave New World, you will not be at a disadvantage. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting a historical perspective to today's issues.

Brave New World Revisited was a very good book. It is terrifying to have Huxley methodically tell of how to virtually inslave mankind. Read more
