Brave New World is a dystopian novel written in 1931 by English author Aldous Huxley, and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State of genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy, the novel anticipates huge scientific developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning that are combined to make a utopian society that goes challenged only by a single outsider.

Aldous Huxley; (b. 26 July 1894, Godalming, Surrey, England - d. 22 November 1963, Los Angeles, USA), British writer and critic. Known for his elegant and satirical style, he turned towards Eastern thought and mysticism in his last years. He came from the Huxley family, which raised many famous scientists and artists. He studied at Eton College, Oxford, between 1908-11. He had to take a break from his education when he was in danger of going blind due to an eye disease. He later graduated from Balliol College (1915). He wrote a very long novel when he was only 17; but this work was never published. Huxley, who worked in various newspapers and magazines during World War I, married Belgian Maria Nys in 1919. He lived in Italy with his family between 1923-30. He gained success with his first novels such as Antic Hay (1923) and Point Counter Point (1928; Ses Sese Karşı, 1961-62, 2 volumes, 1978), which reveal his literary sophistication and intelligence as well as his interest in human relations. The hero of Voice Against Voice is D.H., with whom he was friends in Italy. He created it inspired by Lawrence. In Brave New World (1932; New World, 1945/Brave New World, 1989), he described a future world in which no individual could escape scientific control and conditioning. The work, which is a warning against the power of technology, is considered one of the classics of the counter-utopia genre. Huxley, who settled in the USA in 1937, worked on screenplays in Hollywood as well as his novels and essays. After his wife's death, he married Italian violinist Laura Aschera in 1956. In his works of this period, some themes gained prominence that would inspire the youth subcultures of the 1960s; In The Doors of Perception (1954; Sezgi Kapıları, 1975), he described his experiments with hallucinogenic drugs, and in Island (1962; Island, 1983), he created a utopia based on Eastern mysticism and Western science enriched with perception-stimulating drugs. He collected his essays and reviews in books such as Collected Essays (1958; Essays, 1976), Literature and Science (1963; Literature and Science), The Politics of Ecology (1963; Ecology Policy). Huxley's other works include The Defeat of Youth (1918), Limbo (1920), Crome Yellow (1921), Jesting Pilate (1926), Eyeless in Gaza (1936). ), After Many a Summer Dies the Swan (1940; After Many Summers, 1946), Gray Eminence (1941; Shadow Office), The Perennial Philosophy (1946; Infinite Philosophy), Ape and Essence (1949; Monkey and Essence). .
