Aldous Huxley wrote the book Brave New World, which was first released in 1932. It is regarded as one of the best books of the 20th century and a classic piece of science fiction.

The story takes place in the World State, a dystopian society where people are genetically modified and socialized to uphold the society’s principles. The World State has a society that appears to be ideal because there is no poverty, crime, or violence there, but it also prioritizes efficiency and uniformity.

Several individuals are followed in the book, including Bernard Marx, a government official who loses faith in the World State, and John the Savage, a young man who was raised outside of the World State and is horrified by its values.

As the novel progresses, the characters are forced to confront the limitations of the World State and the dark side of its perfect society. Brave New World is a powerful and thought-provoking novel that explores themes of individuality, conformity, and the dangers of technological progress. It is a classic work of science fiction that continues to be widely read and admired by readers all over the world.
