Brave New World

This sibylline story follows a dystopian future where an 'ideal' society has been created. This futuristic world state is inhabited by genetically modified citizens with an intelligence-based social hierarchy and controlled by indoctrination and drugs. In this brave new world, 'Alpha Plus' psychologist Bernard Marx begins to voice seemingly the only skepticism of the perfections of the society.Widely considered to be Aldous Huxley's most enduring work, Brave New World depicts a world where human emotion and longing are combated with sterilizing mantras and numbing drugs. His vision of a bleak yet terrifying dystopia sounded a bleak warning during 1930s Britain, and continues to resonate today.
