Aldous Huxley

Aldous Huxley (1894-1963) was an English writer and philosopher, the author of nearly fifty books and a nine-time Nobel Prize in Literature nominee. He is best known for Brave New World (1932), the dystopia he wrote in four months as a send-up of H.G. Wells, and for The Doors of Perception (1954), his account of taking mescaline, which later gave the rock band The Doors their name.
