Aldoux Huxley
The grandson of TH Huxley, a famous Victorian scientist, and part of a family of famous public intellectuals, Aldous Huxley was a precociously gifted young man who grew up on the fringes of the Bloomsbury set. In the 1920s, Huxley acquired a reputation for the kind of heartless, satirical fiction that appealed to the Waste Land Generation. Today, he is out of favor due to the uncomfortable accuracy of his predictions.
