《美丽新世界》是二十世纪经典的反乌托邦文学之一。这部作品与乔治.奥威尔的《1984》、扎米亚京的《我们》并称为“反乌托邦”三书，在国内外思想界影响深远。

书中引用了广博的生物学、心理学知识，为我们描绘了虚构的福特纪元632年即公元2532年的社会。这是一个人从出生到死亡都受着控制的社会。在这个“美丽新世界”里，由于社会与生物控制技术的发展，人类已经沦为垄断基因公司和政治人物手中的玩偶。这种统治甚至从基因和胎儿阶段就开始了。

这是一个有阶级、有社会分工的社会，人类经基因控制孵化，被分为五个阶级，分别从事劳心、劳力、创造、统治等不同性质的社会活动。人们习惯于自己从事的任何工作，视恶劣的生活和工作环境与极高的工作强度为幸福。因此，这是，一个快乐的社会，这种快乐还有别的措施保障，比如睡眠教学，催眠术被广泛用来校正人的思维，国家还发放叫做索麻的精神麻醉药物让人忘掉不愉快的事情。

正是在这个“美丽新世界”里，人们失去了个人情感，失去了爱情——性代替了爱，失去了痛苦、激情和经历危险的感觉。非常可怕的是，人们失去了恩考的权利，失去了创造力。

《使女的故事》：你我都该看的现代寓言

加拿大文学界的领军人物爱特伍经典作品，在迷人的叙述中反覆辩证人与女人的价值。

同名剧集《使女的故事》于第69届艾美奖上成为剧情类奖项的大赢家，一举拿下剧情类的剧集奖、女主角、女配角、导演和编剧等五项大奖。

这本题材及技巧上都十分「后现代」的作品，作者发挥想像力之极，掌握时间的线性流动，是过去也是未来。细腻、深刻，在迷人的叙述中反覆辩证人与女人的价值，真实与虚构拉扯，挑战读者的阅读神经。具艺术性、思想性及可读性。

这是欧美文学界推崇不已的作品，也是玛格丽特广受讨论之书，已被列入重要经典作品中。各大学也都有专门学者及课程研讨此书。

《使女的故事》描写的远时间距小说写作时间二百多年，以几名历史学家的发现，让一位不幸沦为“使女”、后来侥幸逃出的女性，通过录在磁带里的声音，向读者讲述发生在那个时间之前的故事，即主人公在未来21世纪初的亲身经历，其间夹杂着大量主人公对20世纪80年代生活的回忆与反思。

Brave New World

Far in the future, the World Controllers have finally created the ideal society. In laboratories worldwide, genetic science has brought the human race to perfection. From the Alpha-Plus mandarin class to the Epsilon-Minus Semi-Morons, designed to perform menial tasks, man is bred and educated to be blissfully content with his pre-destined role. But, in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, Bernard Marx is unhappy. Harbouring an unnatural desire for solitude, feeling only distaste for the endless pleasures of compulsory promiscuity, Bernard has an ill-defined longing to break free. A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his distress... 

The Handmaid's Tale

Offred is a Handmaid in the Republic of Gilead. She has only one function: to breed. If she deviates, she will, like dissenters, be hanged at the wall or sent out to die slowly of radiation sickness. But even a repressive state cannot obliterate desire - neither Offred's nor that of the two men on which her future hangs.

Brilliantly conceived and executed, this powerful evocation of twenty-first century America explores a world in which oppression of women, and repression of the truth, have become justified.
