Au trecut mulţi ani de la al Treilea Război Mondial. Elegantul şi candidul doctor Poole debarcă, alături de o echipă de exploratori, într-o Californie fantomatică, răvăşită de suflul deflagraţiei nucleare. Aici găseşte rămăşiţele unei umanităţi înstrăinate, pline de mutanţi, supuse unor idoli însetaţi de sînge, o civilizaţie pustiită unde prea puţinii supravieţuitori trăiesc după o nouă lege, care spune că nu poţi iubi decît o dată pe an. Curajoşii şi revoltaţii care îndrăznesc să evadeze sînt supuşi torturii şi eliminaţi.

Publicat in 1958, eseul lui Aldous Huxley este un comentariu pe marginea romanului Minunata lume noua, exprimind aceeasi viziune pesimista asupra vietii si angoasa indusa de progresul stiintific si tehnologic in detrimentul valorilor morale. Autorul constata ca previziunile sale din 1931, cind scria Minunata lume noua, se adeveresc mai repede decit era de asteptat, dobindind un caracter aproape inevitabil.

When Aldous Huxley's Brave New World first appeared in 1932, it presented in terms of purest fantasy a society bent on self-destruction. Few of its outraged critics anticipated the onset of another world war with its Holocaust and atomic ruin. In 1948, seeing that the probable shape of his anti-utopia had been altered inevitably by the facts of history, Huxley wrote Ape and Essence.

Punct contrapunct surprinde grava criză spirituală a societății londoneze de după Primul Război Mondial, o epocă frământată, ce trădează deruta și disoluția lumii moderne. Conștient de iremediabila transformare a realității sociale și de complexitatea universului uman, romancierul renunță la maniera așa-zis tradițională de a oglindi viața, preferând o tehnică narativă nouă pentru epoca sa, împrumutată din repertoriul cinematografic.

Galben de Crome, primul roman al lui Huxley, apărut în 1921, este o satiră socială rafinată, de un umor subtil, care ia în derâdere modele și snobismul "lumii bune" britanice, cu toanele, prețiozitatea și superficialitatea ei. Personajul central al cărții, tânărul poet Denis Stone, sosește într-o vizită la conacul Crome al familiei Wimbush. Aici întâlneste o întreagă societate venită să se destindă. Astfel, romanul explorează o rețea de relații și raporturi sociale din cele mai diverse, căci fiecare personaj are câte o obsesie ce-l marchează.

Crome Yellow is the first novel by British author Aldous Huxley, published in 1921. In the book, Huxley satirises the fads and fashions of the time. It is the story of a house party at Crome, a parodic version of Garsington Manor, home of Lady Ottoline Morrell, a house where authors such as Huxley and T. S. Eliot used to gather and write. The book contains a brief pre-figuring of Huxley's later novel, Brave New World. Mr. Scogan, one of the characters, describes an "impersonal generation" of the future that will "take the place of Nature's hideous system.

In October of 1949, a few months after publication of George Orwell‘s masterpiece, Nineteen Eighty-Four, he received a letter from fellow author Aldous Huxley, a man who, 17 years previous, had seen his own nightmarish vision of society published in the form of the classic, Brave New World. What begins as a letter of praise soon becomes a brief comparison of the two novels, and an explanation as to why Huxley believes his own earlier work to be a more realistic prediction
