In 1958, a full twenty-seven years later, Huxley wrote Brave New World Revisited, a short nonfiction book which reexamines the novel’s ideas and predictions in light of events that had happened since the publication of Brave New World. Huxley argues that the world is accelerating toward the dystopia he foretold in Brave New World much faster than he had anticipated. The book diagnoses many problems at the foreground of speculation in mid-20th-century society, most of which endure today in ever more pressing forms.The twelve chapters of Brave New World Revisited (which originated as articles Huxley wrote for Newsday) are each devoted to a different social problem or theme. Huxley starts with overpopulation, which he sees as humanity’s “central problem.”
