A fantasy of the future that sheds a blazing critical light on the present — considered to be Aldous Huxley's most enduring masterpiece.

"Mr. Huxley is eloquent in his declaration of an artist's faith in man, and it is his eloquence, bitter in attack, noble in defense, that, when one has closed the book, one remembers." Saturday Review of Literature

Review:

"A Fantastic racy narrative, full of much excellent satire and literary horseplay." Forum

Synopsis:

A fantasy of the future that sheds a blazing critical light on the present--considered to be Aldous Huxley's most enduring masterpiece.

"Mr. Huxley is eloquent in his declaration of an artist's faith in man, and it is his eloquence, bitter in attack, noble in defense, that, when one has closed the book, one remembers."

--Saturday Review of Literature

"A Fantastic racy narrative, full of much excellent satire and literary horseplay."

--Forum

"It is as sparkling, provocative, as brilliant, in the appropriate sense, as impressive ads the day it was published. This is in part because its prophetic voice has remained surprisingly contemporary, both in its particular forecasts and in its general tone of semiserious alarm. But it is much more because the book succeeds as a work of art...This is surely Huxley's best book."

--Martin Green

Amazingly prophetic! I read this book when I was in college (I’m 34 now) it still gives me new insights into the human condition. I think I’ll be rereading this book until I’m old and gray.

Unique, creative world. An in-depth look on the political theory of "Fordism" and a unique outlook on bio-engineering.
