kmthomas06 's review for:
Brave New World / Brave New World Revisited
by Aldous Huxley
I read this back in high school though it hadn't stayed with me like 1984 or The Handmaid's Tale so I really enjoyed this re-read and the bonus of reading Revisited for the first time. Huxley isn't an easy author (there is an entire chapter of three conversations going on at the same time and it's not always easy to figure out who is speaking and which conversation the sentence belongs too) however, the tale he's telling is still one we need to read and think on. At times, it's rather scarily relevant. Revisited was a very interesting piece as Huxley himself looked back on Brave New World 20ish years after its publication. His discussions around media and how those in power can wield it and what he could have easily called "fake news" if he'd thought of the phrase, are particularly apt these days.
