À propos de cet audio

Originally published in 1932, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before.

“One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century”—Wall Street Journal

Cloning, feel-good drugs, antiaging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media—has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller’s genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 AF (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity.

A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, Brave New World is both a warning to be heeded and thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment.

Ce que les critiques en disent

Second half of the book is great. Interesting concept. Kind of worries me when I think about what future has in store for us.

There's not much more I can add to "NOT MY CUP OF TEA." I especially hated the ending! The performance was FANTASTIC, Michael York did an amazing job.

Great classical story, below average narration for most of the book, especially for female characters.

story didn't grab me, and I didn't appreciate the writing style, too much repetition. 15

Mr York was great, though I'm not sure why the savage had the same accent as Bernard.

I enjoyed this book in part because I wasn’t sure who to root for. This may say more about me than the book, but the exploration of the consequences of state control is thought-provoking and entertaining.

A classic

This is a classic. Relavent to the concepts of liberty and happiness.

Probably considered dry by some, this book uses momentum to build a strong message.

The imagination of Huxley is amazing, the book is well worth listening to and imaging how it fits into our world today. Not the biggest fan of the narrator but not the worst.

Very interesting and well worth the read/listen

After reading this book, along side 1984, and Fahrenheit 451, I have gained a new appreciation for dystopias and how intriguing they are to me.
The ending left me in silent shock for a while.

An amazing distopia

How could A.H. have predicted the society we now find ourselves in?’, Drugged into fake bliss, anti-God, control birth rate, censor books music news, make death acceptable, M.A.I.D., even beef ‘surrogate’ rings a bell. Wild.

Happiness is a devil you sell your soul to
