A lot of ink has been spilled covering the lives of history’s most influential figures, but how much of the forest is lost for the trees?

In 19th century England, few families were as accomplished as the Huxley family, which included prominent figures in the arts, sciences, and literature, but the most famous of them all would come of age in the early 20th century. Aldous Huxley was one of the most unique intellectuals of his age, but he was also one of the greatest.

Having grown up among the Huxley family, Aldous was well-versed in everything from botany to zoology, which helped him write one of the seminal futuristic science fiction novels, Brave New World, which he claimed sprang forth from him because of his experience in "an ordered universe in a world of planless incoherence".

This time he was the one ready for me, but I wasn’t quite there yet.

We can’t avoid the persistent questions about the meaning of life—and the nature of reality. But science is the only means of answering them.
