Brave New World Revisited is not really a sequel, but a critical analysis of Brave New World, how it differs to Orwell's "1984", and the world as Huxley saw it some 30 years after the book debuted.
His commentary and social criticism cut deep, and this cautionary tale is perhaps more applicable today than it has ever been (as evidenced in Bush's reference to Brave New World in his speech concerning government funding of stem cell research).
