Huxley is turning in his grave nearly 100 years after his visionary prophecies began to form into his own mode of fiction. He is one of my favorite authors and raised serious issues and made world-wide breakthroughs in the research of psychedelics as well as our cognitive liberties. I drew a portrait as homage to the man and his works. See the him roll with the mushrooms, the pills and the doors of perception at http://dregstudiosart.blogspot.com/2010/07/aldous-huxley-rolls-in-his-grave.html

Wow, thanks for sharing that, Gerd. Like many others, I read "Brave New World" as a kid. Watching this video gave me renewed respect for Huxley's prescience. Living with the realities of Citizens United and faux cable 'news', however, it appears that not enough people were listening. Hopefully it's not too late to change that!
