Brave New World was written between World War I and World War II, the height of an era of technological optimism in the West. Huxley picked up on such optimism and created the dystopian world of his novel so as to criticize it.

Human beings, graded from intellectuals to manual workers, hatched from incubators and brought up in communal nurseries, learn by conditioning to accept their social destiny. The story develops around an unorthodox AlphaPlus, who visits a New Mexican Reservation and brings a savage back to London.

In this society, emotions and individuality are conditioned out of children at a young age, and there are no lasting relationships because “every one belongs to every one else”. In a perfect world with no poverty, sickness, or sadness, what is society missing? This question and the answers provided by Huxley in Brave New World are, perhaps, the reason the novel continues to resonate.

`...One of the most prophetic dystopian works of the 20th century.`--Wall Street Journal

Schools and libraries all over the world banned the novel, and even today it remains on lists of censored books. Many were offended by the nature of Huxley’s future, and very few understood the novel’s philosophical implications.

Some critics considered Brave New World to be, ultimately, a futuristic parody of William Shakespeare’sThe Tempest.

„Vrli novi svet“ je napisan između Prvog i Drugog svetskog rata, tokom vrhunca ere tehnološkog optimizma na Zapadu. Haksli je preuzeo takav optimizam i stvorio distopijski svet svog romana kako bi ga kritikovao.

Ljudska bića, stepenovana od intelektualaca do fizičkih radnika, izlegla iz inkubatora i odgajana u zajedničkim obdaništima, uče uslovljavanjem da prihvate svoju društvenu sudbinu. Priča se razvija oko neortodoksnog AlfaPlusa, koji posećuje rezervat u Novom Meksiku i dovodi `divljaka` u London.

U ovom društvu, emocije i individualnost se kod dece još u ranom uzrastu uslovljavanjem poništavaju, tako da ne postoje trajni odnosi jer „svako pripada svima ostalima“. U savršenom svetu bez siromaštva, bolesti ili tuge, šta društvu nedostaje? Ovo pitanje i odgovori koje je Haksli dao u „Vrlom novom svetu“ su, možda, razlog zašto je roman i dalje aktuelan.

„...Jedno od najproročkijih distopijskih dela 20. veka.“ – Vol strit žurnal

Škole i biblioteke širom sveta zabranjivale su roman, a čak i danas se nalazi na listama cenzurisanih knjiga. Mnogi su bili uvređeni prirodom Hakslijeve budućnosti, a vrlo malo njih je razumelo filozofske implikacije romana.

Neki kritičari su smatrali da je „Vrli novi svet“, u krajnjoj liniji, futuristička parodija na Šekspirovu „Oluju“.
