美丽新世界
作者: [英] 奥尔德斯·赫胥黎
《美丽新世界》是奥尔德斯·赫胥黎于1932年发表的一部反乌托邦小说，与乔治·奥威尔的《一九八四》和叶甫盖尼·扎米亚京的《我们》齐名，是20世纪文学中对极权主义和集体主义社会最深刻的批判之一。小说设定在一个极端化的消费主义社会，人类通过遗传工程和心理操控技术被分为不同的等级和职业，从出生开始就被预设了社会角色和欲望。这个世界的居民享受着表面上的和平与幸福，但实际上失去了个人自由、情感联系和独立思考的能力。赫胥黎通过描绘一个表面上充满科技奇迹和社会稳定的世界，实际上却是一个压制人性、消除个性的恐怖图景，来探讨科技进步与人类价值之间的关系。小说中的人物，如主人公约翰，是一个外来者，他的存在挑战了这个世界的价值观，同时也遭受着内心与外界的冲突。《美丽新世界》不仅是一部对未来社会的预言式警告，也是对人类自由、幸福和道德的深刻反思。
