Brave New World

Brave New World is a novel written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and published in 1932. Set in London in the year AD 2540 (632 A.F.—"After Ford"—in the book), the novel anticipates developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation, and classical conditioning that combine profoundly to change society. Huxley answered this book with a reassessment in an essay, Brave New World Revisited (1958), and with Island (1962), his final novel.

In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Brave New World fifth on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. In 2003, Robert McCrum writing for The Observer included Brave New World chronologically at number 53 in "the top 100 greatest novels of all time", and the novel was listed at number 87 on the BBC's survey The Big Read.

Brave New World (Steve Miller Band album)

Brave New World is the third album by American rock band The Steve Miller Band, released in 1969. It is the band's first album following the departure of founding members Boz Scaggs and Jim Peterman, with Ben Sidran replacing Peterman on keyboards.

The track "My Dark Hour" featured Paul McCartney (credited as "Paul Ramon") on backing vocals, drums, guitar and bass guitar, and he performed additional backing vocals on "Celebration Song". "My Dark Hour" was recorded in a late-night session on 9 May 1969 after an acrimonious argument between McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr over signing a contract appointing Allen Klein as The Beatles' financial manager. Lennon, Harrison and Starr walked out, while McCartney remained at Olympic Studios. Miller was the only member of the band to attend the session, and the song emerged from him and McCartney jamming.

The primary guitar riff on "My Dark Hour" was also used on the title track to Steve Miller's 1976 album Fly Like an Eagle.

"Space Cowboy" uses the same primary guitar riff as the Beatles' song " Lady Madonna," owing perhaps to McCartney's involvement on "My Dark Hour" and allied permission. It was released as downloadable content for the video game Rock Band on January 20, 2009.

Brave New World (song)

"Brave New World" is the tenth UK single by the band Toyah, fronted by Toyah Willcox, and was released in 1982. It was to be the only single release from The Changeling.

The single, which was backed by an exclusive b-side and a music video (heavily inspired by David Bowie's " Ashes to Ashes") directed by David Mallett, only reached Number 21 in the UK singles chart, and although further single releases from the album were mooted, none appeared. Despite the apparent influence of Bowie's video, Toyah herself has denied any attempt to copy him:

"But I'd never dream of trying to be like Bowie, because he's the greatest."

The full length version of this song, and the b-side "Warrior Rock", were eventually included on the 1999 reissue of The Changeling, while the single edit and the B-side are both featured on the 2005 compilation The Safari Singles Collection Part 2: 1981-1983.

In the episode, the Fringe division learns that Walter Bishop's old colleague, William Bell, has been in control of David Robert Jones' actions to collapse both universes in an attempt to create a new universe under his own control, and the Fringe team must make sacrifices to put an end to Bell's plans.

Both parts were co-written by Jeff Pinkner, J. H. Wyman, and Akiva Goldsman. Joe Chappelle served as director. Leonard Nimoy, though having previously stated his retirement from acting, reprised his role of Dr. William Bell.
