Round 1: Tossup 16

In a non-fiction follow-up to this novel titled [this novel] Revisited, the author compares the power of the Grand Inquisitor’s regime to that of a contemporary “scientific dictator.” In the foreword to a new edition (10[1])of this novel, the author suggests “the problem of happiness” will be the future’s “Manhattan Projects.” The author explored themes inverse to this novel’s in a later novel that ends with the word “Attention” spoken by a mynah bird. That counterpart to this novel is set on Pala and is titled Island. This novel opens in a building bearing the motto “Community, Identity, (10[1])Stability” where students learn about Bokanovsky’s Process. This novel ends with John the Savage hanging himself (10[1])after participating in a soma-fuelled orgy. For 10 points, name this dystopian novel by Aldous Huxley. ■END■
