In 1932, one of the greatest utopian books of the 20th century was published: a insidiously seductive depiction of our future, where happiness is administered like a drug. Sex and consumption sweep away all concerns, and reproduction factories have solved the problem of procreation. It is the best of all worlds, until someone looks behind the scenes and discovers an abyss of arrogance and malice. Finally, the long-awaited new translation by Uda Strätling appears. The prophetic book, whose relevance is proven anew every day, receives a linguistically contemporary form.
