Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 - 22 November 1963) was an English writer.
He wrote a number of novels, on various themes. Most of his books are either highly philosophical, or they try to criticise modern science. Huxley is probably best known for his book Brave New World. In the book, which was written in 1932, he shows what can go wrong with genetic engineering. He writes about a world in the far future, where the whole social hierarchy is based on genetic traits, and not on the personal effort of the individual people to learn and improve themselves.
