"Brilliant. . . . This rip-roaring graphic retelling of the Aldous
Huxley classic brings to mind Fritz Lang, Spielberg and vintage comics.
. . . This is a book that will keep your bedside light burning long into
the night." -- The Guardian
Available for the first time as a graphic novel, "one of the most
prophetic dystopian works of the twentieth century" (Wall Street
Journal), Aldous Huxley's revered classic, adapted and illustrated by
Fred Fordham, the artist behind the graphic novel adaptation of To Kill
A Mockingbird**
In Aldous Huxley's darkly satiric yet chillingly prescient imagining of
a "utopian" future, humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated,
and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian
ruling order--all at the cost of their freedom, full humanity, and
perhaps also their souls. Originally published in 1932, Brave New
World has enthralled and terrified millions of readers for decades and
now it has been reborn for a new age.
In Brave New World: A Graphic Novel Fred Fordham's aesthetically
reimagined adaptation brings Huxley's powerful work to life. Fordham has
captured the surreal imagery and otherworldly backdrop of the story
through brilliantly rendered illustrations. His singular artistic vision
and impeccable attention to detail depicts the work as never before,
introducing it to a new generation of readers in a fresh and compelling
way.
Huxley's enduring classic is a reflection and a warning of the age in
which it was written yet remains frighteningly relevant today.
