Huxley the Author and the Man

Huxley was born in 1894 and passed away in 1963. He is most well known for being a writer, predominantly for his book Brave New World written in 1931. His insight into the future of the current regimes upon the publication and of those that would spring up in the years shortly after the book is magnificent. Outside of writing he was a prominent Englishmen who was born to a family of scientist. Most of his family focused on biology, which could be where he draws his many allusions and predictions to how the world was and would become. His novel predates Orwell’s masterpiece Nineteen Eighty-Four and the Second World War. Another interesting thing to note is the idea of the World State which seems to foment today in conspiracies such as the New World Order.
