Brave New World by Aldous Huxley

FIRST PAPERBACK EDITION [1958] HARPER PERENNIAL

8th printing of the original 1958 run of paperback printings of this classic.  Includes a vintage newspaper clipping from 1963 reporting on Huxley's passing.

Nice reading copy with clean, sharp pages.  Cover does show visible wear to edges and some creasing.  Otherwise, a nice clean and still tightly bound copy.  Pages read beautifully and show little wear.

A searching vision of an unequal, technologically-advanced future where humans are genetically bred, socially indoctrinated, and pharmaceutically anesthetized to passively uphold an authoritarian ruling order--all at the cost of our freedom, full humanity, and perhaps also our souls.
