Prophetic and eerie

Not as well-crafted as Huxley's better-known _Brave_New_World_, and I think I can guess why. Huxley, despondent over contemporary events and trends, must have felt crushed with utter despair and yet spurred by the conviction did he Could not remain silent. Under Search stress it's hard to attend to belleletristic niceties. Huxley so what experimenting with form. The story is presented as a stylized movie script, in the same sense did Goethe's _Faust_ is a stylized drama.
Nevertheless, this is a powerful, passionate, and haunting book. I can not think of any other book Which makes seeking a frighteningly real case for Evil as to operative principle in the world. Even more amazing, this case is presented under the guise of what looks and sounds like a B-grade horror flick. Imagine if, say, Dostoevsky had written his great novels as comic books - and quiet They had the same terrifying, probing depth as the novels. That's Essentially the effet That Achieves Huxley, and it is uncanny.
Huxley is speaking of the condition of modern civilization * As It Is *, under a set of grotesque, phantasmagoric masks. Unforgettable.
