Review Of Brave New World Revisited — 1 year ago
Brave New world Revisited is a good retrospective and summary of how the world of 1958 conformed to the predictions of 1932’s Brave New World, but but it provides little new information. In the first chapter Huxley says nothing that had not been written by Thomas Malthus (namesake of the Malthusian belt) 150 years earlier, yet strangely does not cite his work. When he writes of propaganda, advertisement, and subliminal messages, he does cite the relevant studies, but simply reports the research of others.
