Книга: Brave New World (Huxley Aldous) ; Arcturus

'The greater a man s talents, the greater his power to lead astray'
This prescient novel describes a future in which an 'ideal society has come to pass, controlled by a variety of forces, including genetic engineering, indoctrination and drugs. Seemingly alone in his scepticism, the 'Alpha Plus' psychologist Bernard Marx begins to voice critical opinions about this brave
new world. . . .
Aldous Huxley's skilful prose coolly depicts a world in which spontaneous human desires and emotions have been overwritten by psychically anaesthetizing public mantras - 'everyone belongs to everyone else', 'everybody's happy nowadays'. His brilliantly realized vision of a bland yet menacing dystopia sounded a bleak warning during the inter-war years of 1930s Britain, and resonates as much today as it did on publication.
