具体描述

The astonishing novel Brave New World, 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.

This deluxe edition also includes the nonfiction work "Brave New World Revisited," "a thought-jabbing, terrifying book" (Chicago Tribune), first published in 1958. It is a fascinating essay in which Huxley compares the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy envisioned in Brave New World. He scrutinizes threats to humanity such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them.

看完这本书我是无比的悲哀。之所以悲哀是因为我认同这个可怕的乌托帮,我也无比坚定的相信我们的世界正在向那个方向发展。身在世界上最先进最富有的国家,这种感受尤为强烈。电视节目的完全娱乐化,每一个人群都有麻醉自己的节目;所有的声音都告诉你,你应该满足于现在这样的...

这版让人特别抓狂就是为了减少人名的讽刺性把很对一看就是有所指的人名变成了音译,以让人减少联想。没看过其他版本的翻译,借助百科,还原人名指代和暗含之意。 柏纳德·马克斯,Bernard Marx,这个名字是George Bernard Shaw(乔治·萧伯纳和Karl Marx(卡尔·马克思)。萧...
