Published in 1932, Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is his most popular novel, although it might not have been his most important. It was frequently challenged with attempts at banning, and is still considered controversial.
The reader is swept into Huxley's vision of a future based on science and technology. The novel depicts drugs, sexuality, and suicide and reveals Huxley's disdain for the culture of the United States. A group of parents attempted to get the book banned because they felt there was an overemphasis on negativity.
