Aldous Huxley - Brave New World, A Grim Fiction of Future of Humankind

Aldous Huxley is one of the most intriguing English authors. He - having an interest in mysticism and in certain drugs - has written exquisite, gloomy fictions.



Brave New World is perhaps Huxley's most known novel, already a classic story. It is often compared to George Orwell's 1984, which is another anti utopia about a mind controlled, brainwashed society.
Huxley has written the original novel, Brave New World, in 1931 (its setting is a distant future which is dark and bleak). Also interesting that in 1958 he has written a non-fiction book, Brave New World Revisited, about the novel - and revealed that the world has moved toward his grim imagination faster than he ever expected. (Certainly he was right in many senses.)
