This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.
Brave New World is still one of the most shocking, unnerving and prophetic novels ever written. Mass-consumerism, individualism, total reliance on technology- it is a future that appears to be here already.
Welcome to New London. Everybody is happy here.
INTRODUCED BY MARGARET ATWOOD
Our perfect society achieves peace and stability by dispensing with monogamy, privacy, money, family and history itself. Now everyone belongs. You can be happy too. All you need to do is take your Soma pills. This is the brave new world of Aldous Huxley's deeply sinister and prophetic novel, a society based on maximum pleasure and complete surveillance - no matter the cost.

'A grave warning... Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling' Observer
'Huxley's great dystopian novel' Guardian
