Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is one of the most recognizable and studied works of twentieth-century dystopian literature. In this episode, Bird and Greg discuss the novel, along with the author’s later essay, Brave New World Revisited, published in 1958. Among others, discussion topics include sexuality, the experience of music, suggestibility and persuasion, individual and collective ethics, the value of suffering and the risks of eliminating it, the potential dangers of pursuing happiness as an end in itself, moral luck, and religion.
