A great edition, especially with the intro by Hitchens. I wasn’t a big fan of Brave New World Revisited, though. I think too many people read the book expecting it to be like “1984”, and are then disappointed. To enjoy it, you have to stop wanting it to be like “1984”. Spoiler: my heart broke at the end of the book
