Brave New World Revisited

(english) Aldous Huxley

225K0

"Brave New World Revisited" is Huxley's most important non-fiction work in his later years. It contains sociology, psychology and communication theory. It is also his most concise and informative work. The book was written and published in 1958, 28 years after the publication of "Brave New World". Huxley's predictions in the book have slowly begun to come true. This book combines the social reality of the 1950s 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. The book provides a brilliant analysis of the fate of human society after World War II and predicts the future of the world's two mainstream ideologies. At the same time, he also makes a detailed comparison between his classic dystopian novel "Brave New World" and Orwell's "1984."

"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.
