Aldous Huxley (1894–1963), born into an intellectual family, overcame serious vision problems, graduated from Oxford and taught at Eton (where George Orwell was one of his students). He published Crome Yellow, Point Counter Point and the classic Brave New World (1932), a critique of manipulation and social control. He moved to Los Angeles in 1937, worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood, studied Vedanta and wrote The Perennial Philosophy. He experimented with mescaline in The Doors of Perception (1954) and revisited his dystopia in 1958. In Island (1962), he proposed a utopia. He died on 22 November 1963.

What's up with the cigarette at the beginning?
I heard about "Brave New World" was a favorite by I llluminati types, his name has been thrown out there.
Sounds like 1984 kind of.
Interesting
love how he holds the cigarette backwards while writing….
Whoa, Amazing.
Those books weren’t warnings, they were daydreams. The Fabian Society, democratic socialists. Twisted.
In other words, he predicted the world as it is today!
People say it was prophetic etc. How might that be?
All these people were members of a big club, and you ain't in it.
They all shared the same vision.
Can you talk about SCP lore just like how you talk about Lovecraft lore pls 🙏🙏🙏
