Contains the text of Huxley's prophetic work and includes his discussion about social problems and the human condition since its publication.

Huxley's classic tale of future dystopia seems to become more relevant with the passing of time. At its' original time of publication, some of the novel's social commentary was safety masked inside science fiction.

Today's readers may relate more to Huxley's vision of over medicated, over-sexed consumerism. With topics like genetics, DNA testing and stem-cell research constantly in the news... perhaps the yuppies of today aren't so far off from the Alpha's of the future.

The edition includes the novel, Brave New World, with the non-fiction work, Brave New World Revisted. This content is prefaced by a truly interesting foreword that offers some insights into Huxley's life and experiences. This edition also benefits from a psotscript section which includes interviews, commentary and a letter Huxley wrote to George Orwell (author of 1984).

De volta para o futuro.

Incrível ler histórias futuristas escritas ha muitos anos atrás e ver como muitas predições sobre tecnologia são tão diferentes das realidade e como outros aspectos que não deveriam ocorrer hoje em dia ainda são parte da nossa sociedade.
