About this listen

Fagre nye verden handler om bagsiden af vore drømmes mål: romanen skildrer med bidende ironi fremskridtstankens endestation. Romanen foregår i London, 632 år efter Ford. Det er et rationelt og tilsyneladende humant samfund. Genmanipulation og mental kontrol sikrer borgerne og samfundet mod overraskelser. Og mod ethvert optræk til vildskab, enhver form for spontanitet og naturlighed. I Fagre nye verden skildrer Huxley, hvorledes mennesket i et totalitært samfund kun har protesten tilbage – protesten mod mennesket selv. Nutidens muligheder for elektronisk overvågning og genmanipulering bekræfter de udviklingstendenser, Huxley forudså i sin dystre fremtidsforestilling, som er mindst lige så aktuel at diskutere i dag, som da den udkom.

Please note: This audiobook is in Danish.

Critic reviews

"Nogle få af de bøger, der handler om fremtiden, ender som klassikere. Det er dem, der på en eller anden måde får ret i deres forudsigelser." (Jacob Jonia, fra forordet til Fagre nye verden)
"Lige så vibrerende frisk og forunderligt chokerende som da jeg læste den første gang." (Margaret Atwood, Guardian)

interesting ideas and philosophy

There is not much actual story in this book, mostly descriptions of a dystopian future. However, like 1984, this dystopia presents some interesting ideas and questions what the ideal society/life might be.

I listened to this Danish version of the book, which was maybe not the best idea, as the excessive use of adjectives quickly becomes apparent and makes Huxley seem a bit pretentious through his writing. I would hope it's less apparent in the original.
