In his 1932 classic dystopian novel, Brave New World , Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control.Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited , Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley’s views on overpopulation, propaganda, advertising and government control, and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

After all what is there to live without all the inconveniences the agony the pain. What is happiness if one’s never been unhappy. 但是我這本並不是revisited....
評分Aldous Huxley I admire you!!!
評分Lucid and well-reasoned. One is captivated by Huxley's knowledge and his even more extraordinary intelligence. Personally I cannot agree more with Huxley's insightful idea of dictatorship and democracy. 不僅內容卻很贊,而且Huxley的遣詞造句簡直就是英語議論文寫作典範。該書由於政治原因中國無譯本。閱讀英文版對詞匯量要求不小,更重要的是,得有相當的英語書麵能力和語法知識來理解全書中幾乎處處存在的長難句。這也算是英國作傢寫作的一個特點吧,滴水不漏,精緻細膩。
