jmgiles 's review for:

5.0

I prefer the essays (BNRW) to the novel because Huxley is a better essayist than fiction writer, in my estimation. Still, the novel predicted (or influenced) many things to come, including designer genes, and entertainment and drugs as methods of controlling a population. But I recommend the essays for their analysis of propaganda above all. Still fresh, still important, even after a second world war and nearly 90 years.
