Aldous Huxley Brave New World


(2.9 Sterne; 61 Bewertungen)

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley, written in 1931 and published in 1932. Largely set in a futuristic World State, it is inhabited by genetically modified citizens and an intelligence-based social hierarchy.

The novel anticipates huge scientific advancements in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning, all combined to create a dystopian society. This society is challenged by a single individual, the story's protagonist.

The adaptation features music by Wilfredo Acosta and was dramatised by Stephen Mulrine, with a talented cast including Gary Cady, Jack Klaff, and Frances de la Tour.

Only Partial Book


(3 Sterne)

Promising start and quality, but it's not a complete book. cuts off at the end

Truncated version?

This is obviously not the complete reading of a 311 page novel. It's a brief excerpt (we don't even know if it's from the actual start?) from a radio play performed at a time unspecified. No explanation is given for the incomplete nature of this recording. Also the CBS American radio version is also incomplete? No other complete versions are offered. Very disappointing as I was looking forward to listening to it. Guess I'll just have to get the book!?

Not complete?

The audio quality is just fine. People expect too much from tape and FM radio these days I suppose - but it doesn’t appear to be complete.

The audio quality is not very good. Too much contrast in the volume level. Also, it ends abruptly without finishing the story.
