In an alphabetically segregated, prescription drugs regulated, physiognomy-riven, future, Aldous Huxley has created the ultimate dystopian utopia. When your every desire is catered to and you have nothing to strive for, Huxley argues, you may achieve a certain level of happiness but at the cost of the very things which make you human. Central to every argument against genetic engineering since it was published Brave New World is both a great and flawed book. The ideas in it are informed by pre-WWII society and its trends. Its author, later in life, came out against some of the tenets propagated by the book. Despite this, Brave New World is an important book in every sense of the word. Visionary in its approach, brave in its attempt, it asks questions which are still relevant today and to which the answers have still to be found. Enhanced with a CoolZone that offers a window into the writer's mind, takes us on a tour of the web and offers to partially demystify Genetic Engineering Cool Publications' edition of Huxley's classic is a resource that should reside on every desktop, laptop and PDA.
