"A supplement to the novel *Brave New World* written by Huxley less than thirty years later.
How many of his prophecies, in which he presented a satirical vision of the distant future, came true in such a short time?
When the novel *Brave New World* was published in 1932, its shocking analysis of a technocratic dictatorship was considered a distant vision.
Years later, the author reflects on how societies, technology, and forms of government have changed since the publication of his famous dystopia.
He writes about social phenomena which, in his view, could lead to the political evolution of modern societies toward dictatorship: overpopulation, the excessive organization of social life, changes in propaganda linked to the development of behaviorism, and new techniques of brainwashing and persuasion.
He emphasizes that we should fear a new type of dictatorship and tyranny even more than we did in the past.
“A thought-provoking and alarming book.” [Muza SA, 2018]
