Aldous Huxley was one of the most unique intellectuals of his age, but he was also one of the greatest. While he was controversial for dabbling with mysticism, a belief in parapsychology and the supernatural, and for advocating the use of psychedelic drugs, nobody could deny his abilities. Having grown up among the Huxley family, Aldous was well-versed in everything from botany to zoology, which helped him write one of the seminal futuristic science fiction novels, Brave New World, which he claimed sprang forth from him because of his experience in ‘an ordered universe in a world of planless incoherence’.
Brave New World is still Huxley’s best known work, and it has often drawn comparisons to the works of H.G. Wells and his friend George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four.
