In his 1932 classic dystopian novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley depicted a future society in thrall to science and regulated by sophisticated methods of social control. Nearly thirty years later in Brave New World Revisited, Huxley checked the progress of his prophecies against reality and argued that many of his fictional fantasies had grown uncomfortably close to the truth. Brave New World Revisited includes Huxley's views on overpopulation, propaganda, advertising and government control, and is an urgent and powerful appeal for the defence of individualism still alarmingly relevant today.

Aldous Huxley; (b. 26 July 1894, Godalming, Surrey, England - d. 22 November 1963, Los Angeles, USA), British writer and critic. Known for his elegant and satirical style, he turned towards Eastern thought and mysticism in his last years. He came from the Huxley family, which raised many famous scientists and artists. He studied at Eton College, Oxford, between 1908-11. He had to take a break from his education when he was in danger of going blind due to an eye disease. He later graduated from Balliol College (1915). He wrote a very long novel when he was only 17; but this work was never published. Huxley, who worked in various newspapers and magazines during World War I, married Belgian Maria Nys in 1919. He lived in Italy with his family between 1923-30. He gained success with his first novels such as Antic Hay (1923) and Point Counter Point (1928; Ses Sese Karşı, 1961-62, 2 volumes, 1978), which reveal his literary sophistication and intelligence as well as his interest in human relations. The hero of Voice Against Voice is D.H., with whom he was friends in Italy. He created it inspired by Lawrence. In Brave New World (1932; New World, 1945/Brave New World, 1989), he described a future world in which no individual could escape scientific control and conditioning. The work, which is a warning against the power of technology, is considered one of the classics of the counter-utopia genre. Huxley, who settled in the USA in 1937, worked on screenplays in Hollywood as well as his novels and essays. After his wife's death, he married Italian violinist Laura Aschera in 1956. In his works of this period, some themes gained prominence that would inspire the youth subcultures of the 1960s; In The Doors of Perception (1954; Sezgi Kapıları, 1975), he described his experiments with hallucinogenic drugs, and in Island (1962; Island, 1983), he created a utopia based on Eastern mysticism and Western science enriched with perception-stimulating drugs. He collected his essays and reviews in books such as Collected Essays (1958; Essays, 1976), Literature and Science (1963; Literature and Science), The Politics of Ecology (1963; Ecology Policy). Huxley's other works include The Defeat of Youth (1918), Limbo (1920), Crome Yellow (1921), Jesting Pilate (1926), Eyeless in Gaza (1936). ), After Many a Summer Dies the Swan (1940; After Many Summers, 1946), Gray Eminence (1941; Shadow Office), The Perennial Philosophy (1946; Infinite Philosophy), Ape and Essence (1949; Monkey and Essence). .
