I read this book in 10th grade for my English class book report assignment.  1984 was the original book offered but I talked my teacher into this one since I had already read 1984.

Brave New World
Aldous Huxley


"It is as sparkling, as provoative, as brilliant, in the appropriate sense, as impressive as the day it was published.  This is in part because its prophetic voice has remained surprisingly contemporary, both in its particular forecasts and in its general tome of semi-serious alrm.  But it is much more because the book succeeds as a work of art... This is surely Huxley's best book."  - Martin Green

A fantasy of the future that sheds a blazing critical light on the present - considered to be Aldous Huxley's most enduring masterpiece.

"Mr. Huxley is eloquent in his declaration of an artist's faith in man, and it is his eloquence, bitter in attack, noble in defense, that, when one has closed the book, one remembers."  - Saturday Review of Literature

" A fantastic racy narrative, full of much excellent satire and literary horseplay."  - Forum

"It is as sparkling, as provocative, as brilliant, in the appropriate sense, as impressive as the day it was published.  This is in part because its prophetic voice has remained surprisingly contemporary, both in its particular forecasts and in its general tome of semi-serious alarm.  But it is much more because the book succeeds as a work of art... This is surely Huxley's best book."  - Martin Green

  • I try to maintain page numbers for audiobooks even though obviously there aren't any. I do this to keep track of pages read and I try to use the Kindle version page numbers for this.
  • Synopses marked with an asterisk (*) were generated by an AI. There aren't a lot since this is an iffy way to do it - AI seems to make stuff up.
  • When specific publication dates are unknown (ie prefixed with a "Cir"), I try to get the publication date that is closest to the specific printing that I can.
  • When listing chapters, I only list chapters relevant to the story. I will usually leave off Author Notes, Indices, Acknowledgements, etc unless they are relevant to the story or the book is non-fiction.
  • Page numbers on this site are for the end of the main story. I normally do not include appendices, extra material, and other miscellaneous stuff at the end of the book in the page count.
