Description

No library's complete without the classics! This new audio collects the legendary masterpiece of Aldous Huxley. More than ever, everybody interested in upholding the human spirit has to listen to and comprehend Aldous Huxley's timeless outstanding work. "A masterpiece... One of the most prophetic dystopian works." Wall Street Journal A profoundly significant work of world literature, Brave New World by Aldous Huxley presents a disturbing picture of an unequal, technologically advanced future in which people are drugged, socially indoctrinated, and genetically bred to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order-all at the expense of our freedom, our humanity, and possibly even our souls. Huxley, described by The New Yorker as "a genius {who} spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine," was a man of unparalleled ability who was also a keen observer of human nature and society, an artist, and a spiritual quest. Millions of readers have been captivated and horrified by this masterwork Brave New World, which is still very relevant today as a thought-provoking, gratifying piece of writing as well as a warning to be heeded as we go into the future. Written in the midst of the fascist movement in the 1930s, Brave New World also addresses the mass-entertainment industry, technology, drugs and medicine, persuasive techniques, and the covert power of the elite. "Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English." - Tribune of Chicago
