Brave New World

Brave New World • Aldous Huxley

⭑ 7.7 Stars

In short, Aldous Huxley’s dystopian counterpart to Orwell’s dreary 1984 certainly lived up to its reputation, and is well worth a read!

Despite the authors fame, this was the first time I’d read anything by Huxley, and I found his balance between the vivid depiction of a thriving metropolis that any human could reasonably hope to reside, with the underpinnings of manufactured control to be both expertly crafted and profoundly ominous.
