Introduction

Aldous Huxley was an English writer and philosopher.  He authored over 50 books, and was most famous for writing the  dystopian novel, Brave New World, in 1932 — and in 1955, The Doors of Perception, about his pioneering work with psychedelic drugs.

He was nominated for a Nobel Prize in Literature seven times.    He was George Orwell’s professor at Eaton.  He was the first in a new crop of social philosophers that would inclued Albert Hoffamn, the inventor of LSD and Timothy Leary.

What’s not widely known about Huxley is that he was a successful Hollywood screenwriter, penning major motion pictures such as Pride and Prejudice, in 1940, Madame Curie, in 1943, Jane Eyre, in 1944, and he wrote Alice’s Adventure in Wonderland for Walt Disney

In 1962, Aldous Huxley gave a talk at Berkeley University in California called The Ultimate Revolution.

He talked about how governments have always controlled people, and described how, in the near future, police could easily be replaced with a far more efficient program of mind control, instead.
