About the author
Aldous Huxley
1,019 books14.1k followersAldous Leonard Huxley was an English writer and philosopher. His bibliography spans nearly 50 books, including non-fiction works, as well as essays, narratives, and poems.
Born into the prominent Huxley family, he graduated from Balliol College, Oxford, with a degree in English literature. Early in his career, he published short stories and poetry and edited the literary magazine Oxford Poetry, before going on to publish travel writing, satire, and screenplays. He spent the latter part of his life in the United States, living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the foremost intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature nine times, and was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature in 1962.
Huxley was a pacifist. He grew interested in philosophical mysticism, as well as universalism, addressing these subjects in his works such as The Perennial Philosophy (1945), which illustrates commonalities between Western and Eastern mysticism, and The Doors of Perception (1954), which interprets his own psychedelic experience with mescaline. In his most famous novel Brave New World (1932) and his final novel Island (1962), he presented his visions of dystopia and utopia, respectively.

Mi primera distopia leida y terminada.
Durante los primeros capítulos la narrativa se basa en la presentación de los conceptos del "mundo feliz"
Nos presenta como funciona todo: la reproducción, la música, la educación, el cine, las normas sociales, la religión, la moda, consumismo. Todo tan pero tan bien construido, cada concepto encaja como las piezas de un rompecabezas.
La premisa es básicamente un mundo perfecto, ya no existe el miedo a la muerte, la reproducción se da a través de los laboratorios, cada trabajador está condicionado psicológicamente para ser feliz haciendo lo que hace, todo está controlado por el orden mundial.
Existe censura a los libros.
Todo se desarrolla en un entorno normal hasta que se da la aparición de un "salvaje" criado en las reservas, que son básicamente una atracción turística.

Es un libro que nos plantea un futuro que es nuestra sociedad actual donde la transmutación de valores y la simplificación de la felicidad lo gobierna todo
