Brave New World Revisited in Bloomington, MN

"Huxley uses his erudite knowledge of human relations to compare our actual world with his prophetic fantasy of 1931. It is a frightening experience, indeed, to discover how much of his satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time." —
New York Times Book Review
When Aldous Huxley wrote his famous novel
Brave New World
, he did so with the belief that the dystopian world he created was a true possibility given the direction of the social, political and economic world order. Written more than twenty-five years later,
Brave New World Revisited
is a re-evaluation of his predictions based on the changes he witnessed over that time.
In this twelve-part work of nonfiction, one of the most important and fascinating books of his career, Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy. He scrutinizes threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them.
is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.
