MEDIA REVIEWS
'Huxley's nightmare,set out in Brave New World,his great dystopian novel,was that we would be undone by the things that delight us'- Guardian
'A brilliant tour de force,Brave New World may be read as a grave warning of the pitfalls that await uncontrolled scientific advance. Full of barbed wit and malice-spiked frankness. Provoking,stimulating,shocking and dazzling'- Observer
'Such ingenious wit,derisive logic and swiftness of expression,Huxley's resources of sardonic invention have never been more brilliantly displayed'- The Times
