Steven Heller on Aldous Huxley

http://imprint.printmag.com/daily-heller/brave-new-world-revisited-again/

“His Brave New World Revisitedadds a page to Marshall McLuhan, so to speak, since it addresses many of the pitfalls, pratfalls and slow-burns of modern media manipulation. From brainwashing and chemical addiction to the devious selling arts to the black science of propaganda. If you don’t have the time to read the book, here is one of Huxley’s most interesting portions on propaganda, literacy and capitalism. Over fifty years old, it still rings some bells.”
