{"product_id":"9780061767647","title":"Brave New World","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe astonishing novel \u003ci\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/i\u003e, originally published in 1932, presents Aldous Huxley's legendary vision of a world of tomorrow utterly transformed. In Huxley's darkly satiric yet chillingly prescient imagining of a \"utopian\" future, humans are genetically designed and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively serve a ruling order. A powerful work of speculative fiction that has enthralled and terrified readers for generations, it remains remarkably relevant to this day as both a warning to be heeded and as a thought-provoking yet satisfying entertainment. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis deluxe edition also includes the nonfiction work \"Brave New World Revisited,\" \"a thought-jabbing, terrifying book\" (\u003ci\u003eChicago Tribune\u003c\/i\u003e), first published in 1958. It is a fascinating essay in which Huxley compares the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in \u003ci\u003eBrave New World\u003c\/i\u003e. He scrutinizes threats to humanity such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a Foreword by Christopher Hitchens\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47048435237104,"sku":"9780061767647","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780061767647_p0.jpg?v=1763773126","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780061767647","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
