Ranked as one of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century by the Modern Library, Brave New World is one of the first truly dystopian novels. The title's fantastic world is derived from Huxley's understanding of history and current events-including the aftermath of the Russian Revolution and World War I-and its depiction of the conflict between progress and the human spirit still resonates today.
