Brave New World

Brave New World

Novel by Aldous Huxley published in 1932. It is set in the future when Humanity is totally controlled on scientific principles by eugenics and drugs. A Savage from outside the boundaries is brought inside and is ultimately maddened by the emotional triviality and meaninglessness of this society's life. The ironic title is taken from Shakespeare's The Tempest when Miranda delightedly exclaims ‘Oh brave new world that has such people in it’.
