What They're Saying

Critics Review

“One of the 20th century’s greatest writers.”

”[A] masterpiece. … One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century.“–Wall Street Journal“A genius … a writer who spent his life decrying the onward march of the Machine.”–The New Yorker“A sometimes appallingly accurate view of today’s world.”–St. Louis Post-Dispatch “Aldous Huxley is the greatest 20th century writer in English.”–Chicago Tribune“As sparkling, as provocative, as brilliant…as the day it was published.”–Martin Green“Chilling… . That he gave us the dark side of genetic engineering in 1932 is amazing.”–Providence Journal-Bulletin“Huxley uses his erudite knowledge of human relations to compare our actual world with his prophetic fantasy of 1931. It is a frightening experience, indeed, to discover how much of his satirical prediction of a distant future became reality in so short a time.”–New York Times Book Review“It’s time for everyone to read or reread Brave New World.”–Raleigh News & Observer“One of the 20th century’s greatest writers.”–Washington Post
