About this listen
Set in 2540 CE, Brave New World is a dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley that was published in 1932. The novel takes place in a futuristic society called The World State, where life revolves around science and efficiency. Emotions and individuality are conditioned out of children, and citizens are socially engineered into an intelligence-based hierarchy. People are kept in a passive state through their consumption of a soothing drug called soma, and trouble-makers are exiled to various islands. The characters include Bernard Marx, a sleep-learning specialist, Helmholtz Watson, a lecturer, Lenina Crowne, a fetus technician, and John, also known as “Mr. Savage”. Brave New World was ranked at number five on the Modern Library’s 1999 list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.

Story
Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden. Montag never questions the destruction and ruin his actions produce, returning each day to his bland life and wife, Mildred, who spends all day with her television "family."

Story
The CBS Radio Workshop was an experimental series of productions, subtitled "radio's distinguished series to man's imagination" that ran between 27 January 1956 and 22 September 1957. The premiere production was Brave New World, narrated by Huxley himself, with a complicated sound-effects score that evidently took a long time to construct, and comprised a ticking metronome, tom-tom beats, bubbling water, an air hose, a cow's moo, an oscillator, and three kinds of wine glasses clicking together.

Story
For four aging men in the terror-stricken town of Milburn, New York, an act inadvertently carried out in their youth has come back to haunt them. Now they are about to learn what happens to those who believe they can bury the past - and get away with murder. Peter Straub's classic best seller is a work of "superb horror" ( Washington Post Book World) that, like any good ghost story, stands the test of time - and conjures our darkest fears and nightmares.

Great ideas, meuh story
The ideas vehiculate in this dystopian scifi are a must read ( or listen). But don't be to picky about the story itself. Wasn't as mind blowing as the concepts.

Scientific, boundary pushing, dystopian novel
This book was such a fucking wild ride holy shit I cannot explain the emotions I felt while reading this book the confusion the angst the uncomfortableness the agony the thought that my society has similar structure.... pharmaceutical companies are giving pills to people to numb them, what is the difference between soma and Xanax? At least soma doesn’t have side effects...
I love how they really made you realize what a struggle it is to be made it and how you are robbed and stripped of your pride, of your history, of your language and you are put into a territory that is not your own and you do want to kill yourself.

Government Control
A must-read for all. The government control in this futuristic world is absolutely awful. No decency, no free thoughts, feelings, or truth-all manufactured purpose. John, the main character, was rare, having been birthed, had some memories, tried to be an individual, and was attacked and questioned throughout the story. The group thought prevailed, with their drugged, sex crazed, totalitarian world, killing the past and attacking John for not being like the group or following their expectations and demands. It is scary that this book was written in 1932 and is so relevant today. I will listen to this again.
