Brave New World

In the distant future the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Human beings, graded from intellectuals to manual workers, hatched from incubators and brought up in communal nurseries, learn by conditioning to accept their social destiny. By means of clever use of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs all members of this society are happy consumers. Bernard Marx seems to be the only individual that harbours an ill-defined longing to break free from this society. Visiting one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress. Aldous Huxley's ingenious vision of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.
