In his 1932 classic dystopian novel Brave New World Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control. Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley's views on overpopulation propaganda advertising and government control and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

Easily Huxley's most popular and many good judges continue to think his best novel' DNB. 'After the success of his first three novels Huxley abandoned the fictional milieu of literary London and directed his satire toward an imagined future. He admitted that the original idea of Brave New World was to challenge H.G. Wells' Utopian vision. The novel also marks Huxley's increasing disenchantment with the world which was to result in his leaving England for California in 1937 in search of a more spiritual life. The book was immediately successful' Parker & Kermode 161-62. Named by Modern Library as one of the 100 Greatest Novels of the twentieth century.
