Brave New World

by Aldous Huxley

"People will come to love their oppression, to adore the technologies that undo their capacities to think."

Summary

A dystopia where citizens are controlled by pleasure and distraction rather than force. Huxley foresaw a world where people would be enslaved by entertainment, not surveillance—where the threat isn't what we fear, but what we desire.
