Aldous Leonard Huxley was a British writer best known for his keen perception and ability to imagine dystopian futures with startling clarity.
He began his literary career at a very young age, as he was born into a very cultured family that valued education and literature.
His masterpieces such as "Brave New World" (1932) or "The Doors of Perception" (1954) are not yet available in the United States, but his early stories are. Among them is Point Counter Point, a novel that experiments with complex narrative structures to explore the dissonances and harmonies of modern life.
In short, Huxley is concerned with issues of society, consumption, technology and control. He was a great observer of his time and a critic of the human condition. His literature not only entertains, but also makes the reader think and opens the mind to futures that may sound utopian, but could happen in the future.
Aldous Huxley weighs pleasure and control with unsettling grace. He imagines futures to question the present and writes essays that train proportion. Read him today to argue about happiness, choice, and design with more terms and less heat.
