Review
Brave New World paints a haunting vision of a future where pleasure and control are manipulated to create a perfectly stable society - yet, at the expense of humanity's soul.
Wow did Huxley predicted todays social media industry with this one?
Huxley's exploration of consumerism and loss of individuality still feels incredibly relevant today.
