Aldous Leonard Huxley /ˈɔːldəs ˈhʌksli/ (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was an English writer, novelist, philosopher and prominent member of the Huxley family. He graduated from Balliol College, Oxford with a first in English literature.
He was best known for his novels including Brave New World, set in a dystopian London, and for non-fiction books, such as The Doors of Perception, which recalls experiences when taking a psychedelic drug, and a wide-ranging output of essays. Early in his career Huxley edited the magazine Oxford Poetry, and published short stories and poetry. Mid career and later, he published travel writing, film stories, and scripts. He spent the later part of his life in the U.S., living in Los Angeles from 1937 until his death. In 1962, a year before his death, he was elected Companion of Literature by the Royal Society of Literature.
Huxley was a humanist, pacifist, and satirist. He later became interested in spiritual subjects such as parapsychology and philosophical mysticism, in particular Universalism. By the end of his life, Huxley was widely acknowledged as one of the pre-eminent intellectuals of his time. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in seven different years.

Mr. Huxley wrote a Brave New World, a novel that predicted that some day the entire world would live under a frightful dictatorship. Today Mr. Huxley says that his fictional world of horror is probably just around the corner for all of us." - Mike Wallace In this remarkable interview, Huxley foretells a future when telegenic presidential hopefuls use television to rise to power, technology takes over, drugs grab hold, and frightful dictatorships rule us all.

This is a BBC documentary about Aldous Huxley's life.
En este reportaje efectuado por Mike Wallace, el 18 de Mayo de 1958, habló sobre su ensayo "Enemigos de la libertad" y también sobre "Un mundo feliz (1932). Según Huxley existen un número de fuerzas impersonales, que nos llevarían a una dirección de menos y menos libertad. Si a eso le sumamos que hay un número de dispositivos tecnológicos, acelerarían aún más la pérdida de libertad, imponiendo un control centralizado.

Aldous Huxley interviewed by Mike Wallace (Full Interview)
part 2 here.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyqqtOO_o0Q There seems to be some confusion or controversy as to who is doing the interview as indicated with the conflicting comments on this video. I have no way of finding out the truth behind this at the moment. If you can send me some evidence or post up some evidence settling this once and for all I would appreciate it. I will post up the corrections here in the description. Whatever the case the talk is interesting. It is absolutely Aldous Huxley we are listening too so we can cherish at least that. Thanks for your contributions in this discussion. Safe Journeys.
Aldous Huxley shares his visions and fears for this brave new world.
Brave New World and Enemies of Freedom discussed and described in the current society and the changing face of democracy, the implications of Advertising and the Media. Also a parallel with George Orwell 1984. Words spoken more than 50 years ago and still sound so much like today's society.
