Brave New World (205K) Avail at Tiktok/Tokped

Step into the chilling world of “Brave New World,” Aldous Huxley’s dystopian masterpiece that will leave you questioning the very fabric of society. In this gripping tale, Huxley paints a vivid and unsettling portrait of a future where individuality is eradicated, and humanity is ensnared in a web of control and manipulation.

Immerse yourself in a world where science reigns supreme, and human lives are manufactured and conditioned from birth. In this tightly controlled society, citizens are assigned to specific social classes, their destinies predetermined. Happiness is mandatory, achieved through the mind-altering effects of the ubiquitous drug, “soma,” which suppresses emotions and ensures docility.

Join Bernard Marx, an outsider who dares to question the suffocating conformity and shallow contentment of this brave new world. Witness his fateful encounter with John the Savage, a man raised outside the confines of this controlled existence. As John grapples with the distorted reality surrounding him, he becomes a symbol of rebellion and the struggle for individuality in a world stripped of humanity.

Invisible Monsters (125K) Avail at Shopee

She’s a catwalk model who has everything: a boyfriend, a career, a loyal best friend. But a sudden motor ‘accident’ leaves her an ‘invisible monster’, so hideous that no one will acknowledge she exists. Enter Brandy Alexander, Queen Supreme, who will teach her that reinventing yourself sometimes means erasing your past and making up something better...

Injected with new material and special design elements, Invisible Monsters Remix is a radically refashioned ‘director’s cut’ of a favourite Chuck Palahniuk novel, turning a daring satire on beauty and the fashion industry into an even more wildly unique reading experience.

1984 (180K) Avail at Tokopedia/Tiktok

The Thought Police, Doublethink, Newspeak, Big Brother – 1984 itself: these terms and concepts have moved from the world of fiction into our everyday lives. They are central to our thinking about freedom and its suppression; yet they were newly created by George Orwell in 1949 as he conjured his dystopian vision of a world where totalitarian power is absolute. In this novel, continuously popular since its first publication, readers can explore the dark and extraordinary world he brought so fully to life. The principal characters who lead us through that world are ordinary human beings like ourselves: Winston Smith and Julia, whose falling in love is also an act of rebellion against the Party. Opposing them are the massed powers of the state, which watches its citizens on all sides through technology now only too familiar to us. No-one is free from surveillance; the past is constantly altered, so that there is no truth except the most recent version; and Big Brother, both loved and feared, controls all. Even the simple act of keeping a diary – as Winston does – is punishable by death. In Winston’s battle to keep his freedom of thought, he has a powerful adversary in O’Brien, who uses fear and pain to enter his very thought processes. Does 2+2 = 4? Or is it 5? We find out in Room 101. Nineteen Eighty-Four was Orwell’s last novel; but the world he created is always with us, as successive generations of readers find within it a mirror for their own times and a warning for the future.

Reilly, is “huge, obese, fractious, fastidious, a latter-day Gargantua, a Don Quixote of the French Quarter.

Midnight’s Children (295K) Avail at Tiktok/Tokopedia

Saleem Sinai is born at the stroke of midnight on August 15, 1947, the very moment of India’s independence. Greeted by fireworks displays, cheering crowds, and Prime Minister Nehru himself, Saleem grows up to learn the ominous consequences of this coincidence. His every act is mirrored and magnified in events that sway the course of national affairs; his health and well-being are inextricably bound to those of his nation; his life is inseparable, at times indistinguishable, from the history of his country. Perhaps most remarkable are the telepathic powers linking him with India’s 1,000 other “midnight’s children,” all born in that initial hour and endowed with magical gifts.

This novel is at once a fascinating family saga and an astonishing evocation of a vast land and its people–a brilliant incarnation of the universal human comedy. Forty years after its publication, Midnight’s Children stands apart as both an epochal work of fiction and a brilliant performance by one of the great literary voices of our time.

Perfume (240K) Avail at Tiktok/Tokopedia

An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind’s classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man’s indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.

In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift—an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille’s genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and fresh-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the “ultimate perfume”—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brilliance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.
