Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before.

“One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century” —Wall Street Journal

Cloning, feel-good drugs, antiaging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media—has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller’s genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 AF (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, Brave New World is both a warning to be heeded and thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment.

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

(New York Times Book Review)

'Huxley’s most famous novel reminds us about the dangers of complacency.”

(O, The Oprah Magazine)

“A classic science fiction work that continues to be a significant warning to our society today.”

Belle performance de lecture. Difficile en audio car les personnages mal décrits surgissent au fil des scènes. J’avais du mal à suivre qui était qui. La fin est en longueur. La description du fonctionnement ce monde dystopique reste le principal intérêt ce ce bouquin toujours dans les programmes je crois, mais en français alors que c’est la beauté de l’anglais qui en fait son deuxième atout. Au risque de choquer il me semble qu’on a fait bien mieux depuis.

I started this book in paper version 10 years ago and found it boring, but this audio version breathed life into it and the story is still as vivid today as it was 90 years ago.
A great read.

Finally managed to finish this masterpiece
