Island

Island is Aldous Huxley’s final novel and his utopian counterpoint to Brave New World. It tells the story of journalist Will Farnaby, who shipwrecks on the secluded island of Pala—a society built on mindfulness, scientific wisdom, and psychedelic enlightenment. As Will explores this harmonious world, he confronts deep philosophical questions about freedom, happiness, and human potential. A visionary and thought-provoking novel, Island offers a powerful critique of modern civilization and a glimpse into what a truly enlightened society might look like.
