Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World
Far in the future, the World Controllers have finally
created the ideal society. In laboratories worldwide, genetic science has
brought the human race to perfection. From the Alpha-Plus mandarin class to the
Epsilon-Minus Semi-Morons, designed to perform menial tasks, man is bred and
educated to be blissfully content with his pre-destined role.
But, in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre,
Bernard Marx is unhappy. Harbouring an unnatural desire for solitude, feeling
only distaste for the endless pleasures of compulsory promiscuity, Bernard has
an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining
Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the
cure for his distress. Brave New World is a fantasy of the future that sheds a
blazing critical light on the present – It is considered to be Aldous Huxley' s
most enduring masterpiece.
