When a huge 110 mile wide asteroid - hurtling towards Earth - is discovered by Eddie Thompson, the governments of the time realize the devastating implications for the future of mankind.

Download or read book BRAVE NEW WORLD written by Aldous Huxley and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2024-01-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This carefully crafted ebook: "BRAVE NEW WORLD" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Set in London in the year AF 632 (2540 AD) this political and dystopian science fiction novel, paints a chilling picture of a consumerist society where being a misfit spells utter doom for a person. Here assisted reproductive technologies, mindless sex and orgies, and guided rules for expressing of human emotions reduce relationships to mechanical farces. Written in 1931, the novel is still relevant today and more so because, as Huxley mentioned in "Brave New World Revisited", our real world is turning into the world of the novel much faster than we originally thought! Aldous Huxley (1894–1963) was an English writer, novelist, philosopher, humanist, pacifist, and satirist. He later became interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in seven different years.
