It sold over 23,000 copies during its first two years on the market, and it was, for the most part, lauded by reviewers. Harper later acquired the copyright to all of Huxley’s earlier books with his previous publisher, Doubleday, including the classic Brave New World (1932), which paints a terrifying image of London in the year 2540–a society conditioned and controlled with technology and hallucinogens.īrave New World enjoyed great success, both commercially and critically, when it was first published.
