People all around the world are part of a totalitarian state, free from war, hatred, poverty, disease, and pain.
The story is set in a London six hundred years in the future. The novel is best appreciated as an ironic commentary on contemporary values. Because Brave New World is a novel of ideas, the characters and plot are secondary, even simplistic. Though he was already a best-selling author, Huxley achieved international acclaim with this now-classic novel. In it, the author questions the values of 1931 London, using satire and irony to portray a futuristic world in which many of the contemporary trends in British and American society have been taken to extremes.
Written in 1931 and published the following year, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is a dystopian-or antiutopian-novel.
