Description
In a future London, governed by genetic engineering , Bernard Marx begins to question a society that has abolished family, privacy, and history in the name of stability.
In the World State, citizens are conditioned from birth and kept docile through consumerism and the drug, Soma. But when Bernard encounters John, a man raised outside this system, the fragile logic of enforced happiness begins to fracture.
Through Bernard Marx and John, Huxley examines freedom, moral responsibility, and the human need for meaning.
This classic work of dystopian literary fiction explores identity, alienation, and the suppression of individuality within a world engineered for obedience.
