为什么值得读
- 深刻分析电视与大众传媒如何误导并分化公众
- 敏锐推演人口剧增对民主体系带来的严峻挑战
- 将反乌托邦设想与现实社会演变作深刻对照
1958年，Aldous Huxley 写下了一部堪称其1932年出版的小说 Brave New World 的续作，但这并非一部重拾原有故事与角色、或重新步入小说世界的传统续篇。相反，他是通过一组包含12篇 essay 的文集重访了那个世界。Huxley 重新审视了他在 Brave New World 中所设想未来的方方面面，深思他的幻想竟以远超预期的骇人速度迅速化为现实。早在1931年便对反乌托邦未来做出的精准预言并未给 Huxley 带来半分慰藉。他远比……

……回答。我深信一旦超过一定规模，普遍的独立思考几乎是不可能的。想要深入探讨这类观点，把赫胥黎的《美丽新世界》、《重访美丽新世界》（Brave New World Revisited）和《岛》当作三部曲来读会非常有意思。这篇文章出处的那本 Gato 的书我也读过，他把问题阐述得很透彻，但并没有足够深入地去探讨你该如何重构社会……
…answer. I really believe that over a certain size, widespread free-thinking is almost an impossibility. A really interesting exploration of those sorts of ideas is reading Huxley's Brave New World, Brave New World Revisited and Island as a trilogy. I've read Gato's book that this essay is taken from, and he does a good job of stating the problem, but doesn't step far enough into it to look at how you restructure society…
在这个话题上，赫胥黎的《重访美丽新世界》（Brave New World Revisited）同样很有趣。我记得他曾假定：如果世界人口达到20亿，民主体制将承受巨大压力。:-)
Interesting on the topic as well is Huxley's Brave New World Revisited. As I recall he postured that democratic systems would come under significant strain if the world population reached 2 billion. :-)
忍不住想到了《美丽新世界》，里面他们基本上就是这么对待低种姓人类的。非常值得一读。推荐它的续篇《重访美丽新世界》（Brave New World Revisited）。这些看着像是全文（没去验证过）：https://www.huxley.net/bnw/index.html https://www.huxley.net/bnw-revisited/
can't help to think about Brave New World where they basically do that for inferior-cast humans. A great read. I recommend the sequel Brave New World Revisited Those looks like to be the full texts (didn't verify): https://www.huxley.net/bnw/index.html https://www.huxley.net/bnw-revisited/
我平生读过最引人入胜的书之一是奥尔德斯·赫胥黎的《重访美丽新世界》（Brave New World Revisited，我想大概是50年代写的），它是《美丽新世界》（大概是20年代吧）的后续之作。同理，当年的核心观点就在于大众媒体和电视最终将如何被用来误导和转移民众的……
One of my most fascinating reads of all time was "Brave New World Revisited" (1950s I think), a follow-up of "Brave New World" (1920s I think) by Aldous Huxley. Similarly, the point then was how the mass media and TV would eventually be used to mislead and deflect populations'…
没错，《美丽新世界》对于想了解我们未来可能变成什么样的人来说，远比《1984》更有意思。我相信读过这两部小说的人都会有这个共识。同样有趣的还有《重访美丽新世界》（Brave New World Revisited），那是他在另一本书出版30年后写的，他在书中将其与奥威尔的《1984》进行了对比。他还对未来做了一些预测[1]。我超爱反乌托邦小说，《美丽新世界》是其中最棒的一部。剧透 [1]……
Yap, Brave New World is much more interesting to those who want to understand what might be our future than 1984. I believe that's common sense to those who read both novels. Also interesting is Brave New World Revisited, a book written 30 years after he's other book where he compares it with 1984 by Orwell. He also makes some guesses about the future[1]. I love dystopias and Brave New World is the best. spoiler [1]…
……匹克威克式的修辞罢了。与此同时，统治寡头及其由军人、警察、思想制造者和心智操纵者组成的高素质精英阶层，将按照他们认为合适的方式悄无声息地掌控一切。”奥尔德斯·赫胥黎，《重访美丽新世界》（Brave New World Revisited，1958）
…Pickwickian sense. Meanwhile the ruling oligarchy and its highly trained elite of soldiers, policemen, thought-manufacturers and mind-manipulators will quietly run the show as they see fit." Aldous Huxley, Brave New World Revisited (1958)
