'A masterpiece of speculation... As vibrant, fresh, and somehow shocking as it was when I first read it' Margaret Atwood, bestselling author of The Handmaid's Tale 'A grave warning... Provoking, stimulating, shocking and dazzling' Observer **One of the BBC's 100 Novels That Shaped Our World** INTRODUCED BY MARGARET ATWOOD AND DAVID BRADSHAW Review: This book is equally good if not better than Orwell's 1984. Highly recommended. - Aldous Huxley has depicted a dystopian world in this book where children are no longer born naturally and are rather genetically engineered and grown in decanters. Every child born has a predestined caste depending upon the conditioning of its decanted embryo. The residents of the world state are segregated into alphas, bravos, gammas, deltas and epsilons with alphas being the highest in the degree of precedence and epsilons being the lowest. A decanted embryo is raised according to the caste it is predestined to born into. Alphas are breeded to be intellectuals and have excellent physical and mental conditioning whereas epsilons are conditioned to have stunted growth and low IQ so as to perform menial jobs. Once a child is born from the embryo , it is made to undergo a training program wherein it's reactions to various stimuli is engineered depending upon its caste and future job role. The juveniles are exposed to hypnopaedic learning or sleep teaching and also encouraged to perform erotic play to encourage promiscuity. In the world state, there is no concept of religion, family or marriage. Women are born freemartins and don't give birth. All the residents are non- chastate and are promiscuous ("Everyone belongs to everyone else"). The world is depicted as technologically advanced where everyone commutes in a helicopter and residents are secure from all diseases and worries. They are kept in a false state of happiness with sex, drugs and music. The residents of the world are conditioned not to question their existence or have an opinion on things. There are no history books or literature available to them. 'Soma' is a magical drug which removes their worries, anger and frustration and calms them. The drug is rationed to all the residents and they all are shown as its slave. The world depicted in the story shows no struggle for the residents and all of them are kept in a false state of happiness. Terms like vibro vacuum massage, sec hormone chewing gum and feelies ( movies where you feel all sensations) are a part of the false utopian world of the residents. Other than the residents of the state world, there also exists 'savage' reservations. There is no specific protagonist in the story. There are various characters like Bernard Marx, Lenina, Helmholtz, John (savage), Linda ,Mustafa Mond etc. The story takes Bernard and Lenina to a savage reservation in Mexico where they meet John and Linda and bring them along to their world in London. The rest of the novel involves the Savage's point of view and his feeling with respect to the so called utopian world. The story with a few turn of events change the Savage's perception of the world completely. The book is an excellent read. This book is equally good if not better than Orwell's 1984. Highly recommended.

The common thread connecting them is the loss of individuality, reduction in human thought, coupled with complete control by an unknown master, or set of masters. Each book possesses a unique flavor, depicting different aspects of futuristic societies. Aldous Huxley set “Brave New World” in 2540 CE, or AF 632 (After Ford). Management students may recall that Henry Ford changed production methods in the early years of the 20th century, reducing workers to automatons. A modern emerged between owners, managers and workers, creating a modern class system with unbreakable barriers between them. Modern production systems and society create false utopia, with the majority falling prey to superficial feelings of delight. Aldous Huxley’s cynical view of the marvels of technology inspired him to create a dystopian novel set in the future. The Directors divided society into distinct castes, ranging from Alpha to Delta. The Alphas sit on top of the pile, whereas the Deltas lie at the bottom, doing menial labor. Technological advances have converted human procreation into a mechanized process, distilling and sorting babies into their respective castes. Mustapha Mond, the controller, devised education systems teaching babies to seek simple pleasures (sex etc), and to fear anything that could reduce their productivity (nature, for instance). People use soma to induce pleasure, reduce stress, or to spend their leisure time. Love does not exist, and no one has a permanent partner. Everyone lives in a numb, blissful state, controlled by the state. Enter an Alpha, Bernard Marx, who takes his love interest, Lenina Crowe, to a savage reservation, where they find a long-lost woman, the ex-companion of the Director. The pair find her, and her son, John, whom they call John Savage. Bernard tries to use John Savage to boost his social standing, and Lenina appears to fall in love with him. John’s growing anger with society forces him to rebel and he escapes to a lighthouse to live alone. I shall not reveal the end. Many readers may consider the novel to be unrealistic. We may not consume soma, but we allow social media, alcohol, etc., to rule us. Lives and relationships have become superficial, and we are losing our connection to ‘the real world,’ including nature, which we fear. Aldous Huxley’s novel is brilliant and prescient and is a book we must read. ## Frequently Bought Together - Brave New World - 1984: 75th Anniversary - Fahrenheit 451 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/410836208-brave-new-world](https://www.desertcart.no/products/410836208-brave-new-world) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-09-22*
