BRAVE NEW WORLD

In December, our book club will meet to discuss Brave New World (1932) by Aldous Huxley.  This novel is considered a literary classic, specifically with regard to dystopias.  Brave New World looks at a futuristic world where all emotion, love, and individuality have been replaced by social stability.  Years later, Huxley reassessed his own work in Brave New World Revisited.

Aldous Huxley wrote novels, short stories, poetry, and essays.  A list of his novels is below.

Crome Yellow

Brave New World
Eyeless in Gaza
After Many a Summer
Time Must Have a Stop
Ape and Essence
The Genius and the Goddess
