Aldous Huxley

-
Standard Name: Huxley, Aldous
In addition to Brave New World, 1932, one of the most famous dystopian novels of the twentieth century, AH penned more than forty other novels, often satirical, frequently mystical, that confront the dogmas, idiosyncrasies, and ideals of contemporary humankind. He also published poetry. Fascinated by science as well as mysticism, he used essays to explore the dimensions of the human psyche. He has been called often wrong, always fascinating, when right, dead right, almost in spite of himself.
