The astonishing novel Brave New World, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's legendary vision of a world of tomorrow utterly transformed. In Huxley's darkly satiric yet chillingly prescient imagining of a "utopian" future, humans are genetically designed and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded and as a thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment.

This deluxe edition also includes the nonfiction work "Brave New World Revisited," "a thought-jabbing, terrifying book" (Chicago Tribune), first published in 1958. It is a fascinating essay in which Huxley compares the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World. He scrutinizes threats to humanity such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them.

首先说,看这本书来自neil.postman的《娱乐至死》,后来才知道其与奥威尔的《1984》,扎米亚京的《我们》并称为反乌托邦三部曲,在postman看来《美丽新世界》和《1984》描绘的是两个相反的未来,而在读过此书后,我觉得这种相反反而只是表面上的。内在来看,他们描绘的都是又精...

与1984相比,这个世界似乎要美好的多,人们不需要压抑自己的欲望,可以尽可能的作乐。是个幸福的世界,但是又很恐怖,因为很多世界观是我们接受不了了,没有父母,没有亲人,没有家庭,没有婚姻,没有爱。人们只是做着自己该做的和想做的。人是被按照需要创在出来的,而且千篇...

这版让人特别抓狂就是为了减少人名的讽刺性把很对一看就是有所指的人名变成了音译,以让人减少联想。没看过其他版本的翻译,借助百科,还原人名指代和暗含之意。 柏纳德·马克斯,Bernard Marx,这个名字是George Bernard Shaw(乔治·萧伯纳和Karl Marx(卡尔·马克思)。萧...

看到对《1984》的评论,让我想起另一本书《美丽新世界》。对1984里描述的令人窒息的独裁场景我已不担心,因为从上个世纪末开始,我们这一代人已经开始翻过那沉重的一页,中国人正头也不回地掠过《1984》的阴影。这本书在二十年前对国人会有振聋发聩的作用,但在半个多世纪后的...

阿斯道•赫胥黎笔下的美丽新世界是一个“人人为我,我为人人” 的世界,是一个“智力上和工作的时候是成年人,感情和欲望却像婴儿”的世界,是一个“每个人都很幸福,没有人伤心、生气,人人彼此相属”的世界。 这个世界的人未出生前就被划分为“阿尔法(α)”、“贝塔(...
