For the written version of this paper (Part 2 The War on Science) refer here. In Part 1 the question was discussed what was Aldous’ real intention in writing the Brave New World; was it meant as an exhortation, an inevitable prophecy or as an Open Conspiracy? An Open Conspiracy closely linked to not only H.G. Wells, who clearly laid out such a vision in his book by the same title, published in 1928, but a vision also in the vein of Aldous’ famous grandfather Thomas Huxley “Darwin’s bulldog” and mentor to Wells.
I have only recently come across your work, I just read the introduction to The Empire on which the Black Sun Never Set, Snow Is Now Black it was so wonderfully written and so concisely introduces the book. I have ordered it and look forward to reading. Does the book touch on the themes you discuss in The War on Science and the 20th Century Descent of Man series.
