BNWR is a humdrum collection of boring essays, which prove almost beyond a doubt that Huxley had no idea of the greatness he had envisioned. For instance, he acts as though the most salient issues addressed in the novel were overpopulation and mind control via propaganda, whereas he has nothing to say about, e.g., diminishing emotion through easy sexual gratification (everyone belongs to everyone else), the possibility of poetry and philosophy among elites at "the end of history," etc.

In short, the contrast between the greatness of the one, and the mediocrity of the other could not be starker.(less)

Brave New World is now quasi in the public domain. Due to the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, the book won't be fully/officially(?) in the public domain until 2028. Personally, I'm a bit hazy on these details, but the book is relatively ubiquitous, so I'm sure you can get your hands or eyes on it with little labor.(less)
