![]() One of the groundbreaking elements of the book is that humans are not born traditionally, but are genetically modified for desirable qualities, fertilised in vitro and are effectively incubated until birth. Some of the undoubtedly futuristic elements in B rave New World (considering it was published in 1932) are not so wild in the present day. This is why I think it’s a great place to start it’s not intimidating and it has plenty to offer despite the reduced page count. Not only is the plot of Brave New World interesting, but it’s one of the shorter classic books I’ve read at just over 260 pages. Largely set in a futuristic World State, inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation and classical conditioning that are combined to make a dystopian society that is challenged by only a single individual: the story’s protagonist. You could always give that a try first? Although it’s not 100% true to the book (but covers the main topics and concepts well), I still enjoyed it regardless!īrave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. ![]() I wish they were given more of a chance, and if I were to suggest you pick up any, Brave New World is a great one to start with!Īnd, if you’re not sure, there is a TV series based on the book on Now TV. ![]() I’ve even gone back to books that I read and hated at school and I enjoyed them. However, they do need to be given their due. ![]() I have a whole host of opinions on how the education system doesn’t promote reading, but that’s for another day. After I left school I said the same thing. Since classic novels are typically taught in school I think a lot of people have the misconception that they’re going to be dry, dull or that no one in a million years would want to spend their free time reading them. But, I’m going to do my best to do the book justice! I confess that my first thought was along the lines of ‘where do I even begin reviewing this?’. When perusing through the list of books I’ve read I discovered that I hadn’t yet reviewed Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Since it has been about a month since I last shared a book review I’ve decided it’s time to get my thinking cap on and share my thoughts with you on a previous read.
