Brave New World. Island. Return to Brave New World

"Brave New World" — an exquisite and witty dystopia about a genetically engineered "consumption society", in which unfolds the tragic story of the Savage — the "Hamlet" of this world. The ideas of the iconic "Brave New World" found continuation in the last, most mysterious and mystical novel by Aldous Huxley, "Island".

In the socio-philosophical treatise "Return to Brave New World", English writer Aldous Huxley analyzes the realities of the late 1950s, seeking correspondences to the markers of humanity's future — the consumption society from his iconic dystopia "Brave New World" and the legendary novel "1984" by British author George Orwell. Some predictions are clarified by the writer, some are rejected as not frightening enough.
