It’s important to note those words up front – Fordham has ‘adapted and illustrated’ Brave New World. Which brings us to Fred Fordham’s graphic adaptation. There’s a reason why Brave New World, like 1982, continues to be read: it was thrilling at the time, it’s still quietly thrilling now. Let’s say you know the ins and outs, the way the characters are regulated, the ways they view what you and I would probably consider normal (ish) with profound disgust, the corporate hegemonies, the so-called savages, the way Huxley fashions a tale that seems to Edgar Rice Burroughs (whose Tarzan stories first started being published some 20 years before Brave New World, when Huxley would have been 18 or so).
Let’s work on the basis that you are in some ways familiar with Brave New World, the dystopian novel first published in 1932.
