Sci-Fi & Speculative
by Christopher Hitchens
Huxley's vision of a future engineered for stability: genetic castes, pleasure as policy, and discontent medicated into silence. Decades later, his *Revisited* considers how close the prophecy came—mass media, pharmaceuticals, and the willing surrender of freedom. A double text on the seductions of comfort and the fragility of autonomy.
