"Brave New World" is one of the most classic dystopian literature of the 20th century. This work, together with George Orwell's "1984" and Zamyatin's "Us", is known as the three "dystopian" books and has a profound influence on the ideological circles at home and abroad. The book cites extensive knowledge of biology and psychology to describe the fictional society of 632 Ford Era, that is, 2532 AD. This is a society where people are controlled from birth to death. "Return to the Brave New World" combines reality and starts with key topics such as population expansion, bloated organizations, dictatorship, and the concept of freedom. It once again interprets the fictional "New World", reflects the impact of scientific and technological civilization on real society, and raises the issue of where human beings should go. In the intersection of illusion, reality and the future, we might as well return to the "new world" and think about the true meaning of science and technology again.

"Brave New World" was a stunning work published in 1932. The author Aldous Huxley used his legendary vision and ironic writing style to create a "brave new world" with abundant material life and highly developed science and technology. In the distant future, under genetic design and drug anesthesia, people have lost their personal emotions, their ability to think, and their love, and they just passively obey a ruling order. Bernard and Lenina, who went to the reserve for vacation, met "savage" John and his mother Linda, and brought them back to civilized society. Linda soon died of an overdose of soma, and John realized that "civilized society" was not a beautiful utopia, and began to long for a return to the reservation...

Everyone enjoys the comfortable life provided by scientific and technological production without having to bear any pressure. They can pursue freedom and entertainment as they please. Bernard realizes that this kind of happiness is very false. He has been under some kind of control: humans are born from embryo factories and divided into classes through targeted genetic modification to adapt to different social divisions of labor. Due to the sleep brainwashing education they received from an early age, everyone contentedly accepted the established identity and class. In order to keep people happy, the state will provide an unlimited supply of anesthesia drugs. In order to find true humanity, Bernard went to a savage reservation isolated by barbed wire, met John the savage by chance, and was attracted by his soul. He rebelliously brought John back to the civilized world, but attracted the attention of the heads of state of the world...
