【内容简介】

故事发生在2039年。

彼时，美国已把墨西哥和加拿大收归到自己的版图之下，摇身一变成了北美合众国，极权之风日盛。按照肤色、种姓等级和对国家的忠诚度，人们都被分为三六九等。平平无奇最好不过。过于聪明或是好奇，都不安全。一不小心，就会被标记、被流放甚至被“蒸发”。

17岁少女埃德莉安即将高中毕业，却在毕业演讲上因言获罪，被判处“流放四年，并便被秘密“输送”到80年前的一个无名小镇。表面上，这里的生活相比原来更加宁静而充满温情。换了身份的埃德莉安开始了全新的生活，甚至继续读起了大学。实际上，却要服从一套严苛非人的指令：不能挑战和质疑，不能生育，无条件服从实时监控。如有违抗，会被立即“蒸发”。但最让人压抑的，却是孑然一身的孤独，和时刻像乌云般笼罩在头顶的巨大恐惧。然而，就是在这个全然孤独之地，她恋爱了……

在这本书里，欧茨通过讲述17岁少女埃德莉安先后的遭遇，大胆无畏地反思和批判了当下的美国社会，尤其是极权和无孔不入的技术对人性的压抑和禁锢。珍惜你自由地呼吸着的每一个瞬间，才不会被时间和权力的虚无所吞噬。

When the novel "Brave New World" first appeared in 1932, its shocking analysis of a scientific dictatorship seemed a projection into the remote future. Here, in one of the most important and fascinating books of his career, Aldous Huxley uses his tremendous knowledge of human relations to compare the modern-day world with his prophetic fantasy. He scrutinizes threats to humanity, such as overpopulation, propaganda, and chemical persuasion, and explains why we have found it virtually impossible to avoid them. "Brave New World Revisited" is a trenchant plea that humankind should educate itself for freedom before it is too late.

In the last years of World War II, Friedrich Hayek wrote The Road to Serfdom. He warned the allies that policy proposals which were being canvassed for the post-war world ran the risk of destroying the very freedom for which they were fighting. On the basis of 'as in war, so in peace', economists and others were arguing that the government should plan all economic activity. Such planning, Hayek argued, would be incompatible with liberty, and had been at the very heart of the movements that had established both communism and Nazism. On its publication in 1944, the book caused a sensation. Neither its British nor its American publisher could keep up with demand, owing to wartime paper rationing. Then, in 1945, Reader's Digest published The Road to Serfdom as the condensed book in its April edition. For the first and still the only time, the condensed book was placed at the front of the magazine instead of the back. Hayek found himself a celebrity, addressing a mass market. The condensed edition was republished for the first time by the IEA in 1999 and has been reissued to meet the continuing demand for its enduringly relevant and accessible message.

Novel by George Orwell, published in 1949 as a warning about the menaces of totalitarianism. The novel is set in an imaginary future world that is dominated by three perpetually warring totalitarian police states
