Brave new world revisited
Book • 1958
Written in 1958, 'Brave New World Revisited' is a collection of essays where Aldous Huxley examines the validity of his earlier novel's predictions about a dystopian future.
Huxley discusses various social problems, including overpopulation, over-organization by 'Big Business' and 'Big Government', and the dangers of mass media and propaganda.
He argues that the world is moving faster towards the dystopia he described in 'Brave New World', characterized by non-violent totalitarianism and the manipulation of people through subconscious persuasion and chemical control.
The book concludes with a call for reeducation in individual liberty and democracy to prevent the erosion of personal freedom.
