Brave New World
Brave New World
Not as good as its hype but nevertheless a beautiful written and poetic novel.
Hannah Mulligan Ward at Woking

Synopsis

Welcome to New London. Everybody is happy here.

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 masterpiece of speculation... As vibrant, fresh, and somehow shocking as it was when I first read it' Margaret Atwood, bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale

'A grave warning... Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling' Observer

**One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World**
