"PLAYAWAY. Set in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford - the god of automation), this is a satire on the world's scientific and social developments. In this age, the inhabitants are decanted from bottles and then conditioned to accept their predestined castes in society. This is the ideal world of the future. In laboratories genetic science has brought reproduction to perfection. Stratified society ensure stability. But in the Central London Conditioning Centre, Bernard Max is unhappy and longs to break free."
"Utopia in the year 632 A.F. means cloning, feel good drugs, anti-aging programs, total social control through politics, programming and media, but it can also destroy humanity."@en
"On the 75th anniversary of its publication, this outstanding work of literature is more crucial and relevant today than ever before. Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming and media--has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our future? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford, the deity). When Lenina and Bernard visit a savage reservation, we experience how Utopia can destroy humanity."@en

"Cloning, feel-good drugs, anti-aging programs, and total social control through politics, programming, and media-has Aldous Huxley accurately predicted our twenty-first century existence? With a storyteller's genius, he weaves these ethical controversies in a compelling narrative that dawns in the year 632 A.F. (After Ford the Deity). Huxley paints a startling and hallucinatory picture of a civilisation that imagines itself free, but that in reality is mindlessly (and happily) captive to the ruling class."

"Huxley's classic prophetic novel describes the socialized horrors of a futuristic utopia devoid of individual freedom."@en
"A futuristic account of a world comprising test-tube babies conditioned to accept their pre-destined caste in a society where morality, art, love and parenthood no longer exist."
""Community, Identity, Stability" is the motto of Aldous Huxley's utopian World State. Here everyone consumes daily grams of soma, to fight depression, babies are born in laboratories, and the most popular form of entertainment is a "Feelie," a movie that stimulates the senses of sight, hearing, and touch. Though there is no violence and everyone is provided for, Bernard Marx feels something is missing and senses his relationship with a young woman has the potential to be much more than the confines of their existence allow."@en
