"Brave New World is as sparkling, as provocative, as brilliant...as the day it was published. Its prophetic voice has remained surprisingly contemporary, both in its forecasts and its general tone of semi-serious alarm."
-- Martin Green, introduction to Harper paperback edition
Listed by The New York Times as one of the 100 best-selling books of the 20th century, Brave New World seems closer than ever to becoming a reality. From cloning to feel-good drugs and anti-aging programs, Huxley's predictions have proven frightfully accurate. The philosophical and ethical controversies brought about by science and technology have never been more compelling.
Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was born in England but resided in California from 1937 on. His best known works include: Brave New World, Chrome Yellow, Point Counter Point, and The Doors of Perception.
Michael York has delighted audiences in Britain and the U.S. with his talents on the screen and stage, ranging from plays by Shakespeare and Tennessee Williams to film comedies with Leslie Nielson and Beverly D'Angelo. He has also recorded over 50 audiobooks, including the Grammy-nominated Treasure Island.
