Far in the future, the World Controllers have created the ideal society. Through the clever mix of genetic engineering, brainwashing and recreational sex and drugs, everyone is a happy consumer. Bernard Marx seems alone in his discontent.</p>
作者简介
Aldous Huxley was born on 26th July 1894 near Godalming, Surrey. He began writing poetry and short stories in his early twenties, but it was his first novel, Crome Yellow (1921), which established his literary reputation. This was swiftly followed by Antic Hay (1923), Those Barren Leaves (1925) and Point Counter Point (1928) - bright, brilliant satires in which Huxley wittily but ruthlessly passed judgement on the shortcomings of contemporary society. The great novels of ideas, including his most famous work Brave New World (published in 1932 this warned against the dehumanising aspects of scientific and material 'progress') and the pacifist novel Eyeless in Gaza (1936) were accompanied by a series of wise and brilliant essays, collected in volume form under titles such as Music at Night (1931) and Ends and Means (1937). In 1937, at the height of his fame, Huxley left Europe to live in California, working for a time as a screenwriter in Hollywood. As the West braced itself for war, Huxley came increasingly to believe that the key to solving the world's problems lay in changing the individual through mystical enlightenment. The exploration of the inner life through mysticism and hallucinogenic drugs was to dominate his work for the rest of his life. His beliefs found expression in both fiction (Time Must Have a Stop, 1944 and Island, 1962) and non-fiction (The Perennial Philosophy, 1945, Grey Eminence, 1941 and the famous account of his first mescalin experience, The Doors of Perception, 1954. Huxley died in California on 22nd November 1963.

读后感
看到对《1984》的评论，让我想起另一本书《美丽新世界》。对1984里描述的令人窒息的独裁场景我已不担心，因为从上个世纪末开始，我们这一代人已经开始翻过那沉重的一页，中国人正头也不回地掠过《1984》的阴影。这本书在二十年前对国人会有振聋发聩的作用，但在半个多世纪后的...

评分最初了解到《美丽新世界》，是在初中时读的《科幻世界》。后来读《娱乐至死》，波兹曼不止一次提到本书，促成了我对其阅读的机会。第一次阅读本书是在大学时代，距今也7、8年了。当时的震撼至今难忘，但也留下了诸多困惑和不解。在那时写下的书评最后，我曾写下一连串疑问： “...
评分曾经有幸参加过一次读书会，主题乔治奥威尔，不外乎是谈《动物庄园》与《1984》。当时在场的更多人是更喜欢《动物庄园》，而我对那本书却没什么很深刻的感觉，只很喜欢《1984》。当然《1984》也是有不少讨论的，一片引申，而我却只在旁听与发呆，基本没有发言。只是现在回想起...
评分说起反乌托邦的文学作品，乔治奥威尔的《1984》似乎在国内更享有盛名，相比之下，赫胥黎的《美妙的新世界》（美丽新世界）的知名度就要差上好多了。豆瓣上简单地一比，《1984》各个版本的读者加起来约有7000，而《美妙的新世界》却只有两三百人而已。 只因奥威尔所写的，几乎...
用户评价
赫胥黎的文笔真厉害，感染力极强。这种书没有被禁真是奇迹。
评分long overdue
评分这的确是个全新的世界，但它“美丽”吗？带有痛苦的自由和被操控了的绝对幸福你选哪个？反乌托邦这个概念其实很难定义，我们现在对“好”与“坏”的认知取决于我们所生活的社会环境，所受的教育。但如果我们不是当下社会的一员，而出生成长在那个所谓的“美丽新世界”里，或许反乌托邦真的就是乌托邦，一切都挺美丽的。
评分甩1984n条街
评分近期最佳阅读体验。前半部是Huxley的带刺嘲讽，越炫目越可笑。Hypnopaedia、Ford、Bokanovskified、soma、pneumatic，这些词注定与aeon共存。这是Comfortably Numb的世界。最有深意的是对亲人关系的解构，对“一个人独有”的嘲弄。到Savage Reservation之后，开始看到转机，看到“Dictator”的没落-- 颠覆了颠覆，看到Bernard的Vicissitude（悲哀的人性，容易被侵蚀的灵魂），看到Lenina动人外貌下的无知浅薄，（Impudent Strumpet！最残酷的还是John难以控制的情感与贞洁的较量）。一个奇怪的设定是Mustafa的“人格分裂”。结尾的鞭打是高潮，革命还是没有发生。难过，泪崩。
