In a visible future, bioscience and genetics have reached a point where they replace the natural evolution of the human species. The character, the mental world, the happiness, the social status of each person are predetermined long before their birth.
Aldous Huxley, influenced by the scientific discoveries of his time as well as the social upheavals in England and the (then, 1932) Soviet Union, prophesies a bleak tomorrow that reality was destined to confirm. A fictional novel about the future that casts a critical light on the present and is considered one of the masterpieces of twentieth-century literature that has stood the test of time.
It remains provocative, scintillating, ingenious, impressive, and relevant as the day it was first published. Without a doubt, Huxley's best book.
