A classic of world literature in a new translation. In 1932, one of the greatest utopian books of the 20th century was published: a insidiously seductive outline of our future, where happiness is administered like a drug. Sex and consumption sweep away all concerns, and reproduction factories have solved the problem of procreation. It is the best of all worlds—until someone looks behind the scenes and discovers an abyss of arrogance and malice. In the highly praised new translation by Uda Strätling, this prophetic book, whose relevance is proven to us anew every day, takes on a linguistically contemporary form.
