    It is very interesting and describes our dying world quite clearly. Anyone needs to read it. Even if you havent read brave new world, read this. For your own sake, and the sake of humanity.

    I read Brave New World by the suggestion of a teacher and loved it. What is brave new world revisited, exactly? Reflections on the original novel?

    Regardless it sounds like a good read.

    Yes, essays on the concepts of BNW.

    It might be the first place I had an understanding of mass mentality.
    Huxley wrote about overpopulation, propaganda in a dictatorship, art of selling, brainwashing, chemical persuasion, subconscious persuasion, hypnopaedia (hypnotic/subconscious programming), education for freedom and what can be done.
    My edition has combined copyright dates starting in 1932 and ending in 1958 as Huxley's and a 1960, 1965 reprint copyrights. My guess is '65 is the addittion of an introduction.

    Need to read this again! along with Weapons of Mass Deception!
