Did you know you can read "Brave New World" for free online? This is not an ad, there are no stings, no catches. Ab-so-lute-ly free. It's a safe website devoted to Huxley's work.The good folks at https://www.huxley.net/ have the entire novel by Aldous Huxley posted on their website. They just want you to read it. BNW is a must-read book for anybody concerned about the decay of modern society. Published in 1932, it is more relevant today (sadly) than ever before.
Like George Orwell's "1984," Brave New World was prophetic. Although it has a strong message and deals with very serious subjects, it's a much easier read than 1984, thanks in part to a lot of dark humor.
The authors of Huxley.net tell us that Aldous Huxley "is seeking to warn us against scientific utopianism. He succeeds all too well. Although we tend to see other people, not least the notional brave new worlders, as the hapless victims of propaganda and disinformation, we may find it is we ourselves who have been the manipulated dupes."
In the early 1930's Huxley was already warning us about genetic experimentation, one-world government, class warfare, statism and other issues that have become stark reality today. Read it. It's free. So are you ... for now.
