Daily Telegraph
‘one of the most important books to have been published since the war.’

The Times
‘Such ingenious wit, derisive logic and swiftness of expression, Huxley’s resources of sardonic invention have never been more brilliantly displayed.’

5.0 out of 5 stars Everyone should be made to read this book, 25 Jan 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: Brave New World Revisited (Paperback)
It's hard to explain the liberation I felt after reading this book. The maxim 'knowledge is power' has never been more true. Huxley shows with such clarity and lucidity, the way all our lives are controlled by over-organisation, indoctrination and propaganda. "The stuff of conspiracy theories," people might say? Think again.

Huxley shows how peoples perception of freedom is based on what you are told and understand freedom as actually being or looking like. He explodes this idea and goes on to show how our lives are shaped and controlled by those we elect to 'lead us'. To show how this can be done he cites the obvious yet accutely sharp example of Hitler's use of propaganda in bringing an entire German nation round to his way of thinking.

It goes without saying that if Hitler can use propaganda on such a dramtic level to control peoples views and ideas of what 'the truth' is, then its not beyond anyone else with large amounts of power to use those methods in other ways.

I urge anyone reading this review to buy the book, read it and pass it on to others. You will never look at the world and our system of governments the same way, ever again. If this leaves your perceptions of the world around you unchanged then Ill give you a refund myself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Behind A Brave New World, 9 Jul 2004
This review is from: Brave New World Revisited (Perennial Classics) (Paperback)
If you have read both Brave New World and 1984 (George Orwell), then you must read this. It has no storyline or plot like the above, but it surely compares and explains both books a little better. It also relates examples from real history (Nazi Germany or Stalinist Russia). The book can be seen as both a foreword, an epilogue and the research to "A Brave New World" I very much enjoyed both Brave New World and 1984, but after reading BNW Revisited you will have a completely new perspective of the world around you. A must read after BNW and 1984.

5.0 out of 5 stars The screaming all over again!, 30 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Huxley managed to give me many sleepless nights the first time with the almost nightmarish reality which is happening now, of A Brave New World. This book is equally as good, in the context that I am still suffering the effects of it. It is must read if you have read Orwell's Masterpiece 1984 and a definite for those who have read A Brave New World.

Essential handbook for understanding the wretched lives of those so unfortunate as to live in the later part of the 20th century, or something like that! Great read. Read more
