ref. 9786558301332BIBLIOTECA AZUL. new. O retorno de Huxley ao Admirǭvel mundo novo Quase trinta anos ap��s lan��ar sua obra-prima e um dos monumentos da fic��o cient�fica Aldous Huxley retorna ao seu Admirǭvel mundo novo. Neste livro Aldous Huxley se prop��e a avaliar as previs��es de sua obra original e trata sobre amea��as �� humanidade tais como a superpopula��o a manipula��o genǸtica e psicol��gica o uso de drogas prescritas como forma de controle social e a ascens�o de regimes autoritǭrios. Huxley compara sua distopia com a de George Orwell de quem fora professor e coloca lado a lado acertos e erros de ambas. Alguns dos temas de seu Admirǭvel mundo novo permanecem atuais e urgentes neste seu Retorno publicado em 1958. S�o assuntos que ainda repercutem em nosso tempo como o refor��o positivo de comportamentos e a flexibiliza��o da no��o de verdade. E de que forma atuam as redes sociais sen�o como refor��os de boa conduta e espa��o para veicula��o de mensagens falsas Ao lan��ar quest��es para o futuro prop��e que as na����es devem educar seus cidad�os para a liberdade sob risco de ca�rem na m�o de ditaduras. Esta edi��o traz notas que contextualizam dados e informa����es do texto original e tambǸm um posfǭcio escrito por Carlos Orsi pesquisador do Instituto Quest�o de Ci�ncia que contextualiza o exerc�cio especulativo de Huxley e tambǸm prop��e debates para o nosso tempo como a manipula��o emocional da publicidade a tecnologia a servi��o do controle total e o efeito de hipnose das redes sociais.
