Listen now to get the main key ideas from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World.

What would happen if people were genetically engineered to be happy? In Brave New World (1932), writer and philosopher Aldous Huxley builds a nightmarish vision of a future where people are created in bottles and designed to fit into a five-tiered caste system to ensure the stability of society. Huxley's classic dystopian novel chronicles the confrontation between Londoners, who are brainwashed by psychological manipulation and numbed by a drug that keeps them blissfully happy, and John the Savage, a normal human being.
