Brave New World Revisited

"Brave New World Revisited," by Aldous Huxley, is an essay reflecting on his 1932 novel "Brave New World." Huxley examines the potential for technological advancements, consumerism, and social engineering to create a superficially comfortable but ultimately controlling and dehumanizing society. He warns that reliance on pleasure, entertainment, and superficial happiness could undermine individual independence and critical thinking. The book serves as a cautionary exploration of how scientific and technological progress might threaten personal freedom, urging vigilance against trends that could erode genuine human values in pursuit of convenience and stability.
