In this episode, we discuss Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World. Unlike the book club episodes (in which we read around 100 pages per week of the book), the book discussions will be one-off discussions of books that for one reason or another affected me.

For this book discussion, I'm again joined by Antonia, who works in academic publishing and with whom I did a series on Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment on this podcast.
