Growing up in a family of scientists, writers, and teachers in Surrey, England, Aldous Huxley was well educated. His father, Leonard Huxley's father, is a scientist known for supporting Charles Darwin's idea of ​​evolution. His mother, Julia Arnold, was related to the poet and essayist Matthew Arnold. Due to his background, Huxley had a wide range of knowledge, from literature to science. In his writings, he was able to integrate scientific elements into his novels and essays. He initially pursued a career as a doctor, however, as a teenager he was nearly blind due to an eye disease. After graduating from Oxford in 1916, he became a writer and began writing satirical pieces about the British upper class. By relying on his ability to write he had a certain audience and a literary name. Much of his work addresses the conflict between the interests of the individual and society, often focusing on the problem of self-realization in the context of social responsibility. This eventually made it into his book Brave New World. After publishing Brave New World, he continued to live in England. He then moved to California in 1937. In the late 1940s he began experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs, and this led him to write several books that had a profound influence on the late 1960s. He died in Los Angeles, November 22, 1963.

They were a caste separate from the masses of Epsilons, but ultimately responsible for both keeping them content and judging their suitability for citizenship. “Science cannot reveal ultimate reality.” Emerging from Huxley's keen awareness of the socio-political dimensions of science, his story sounds an alarm bell about knowledge as power that is especially relevant now that the predicted genetic revolution has arrived. Even if genetics is not in the hands of despots, “monks of science” should still, from time to time, put down their test tubes and engage in a public dialogue about how their research will be used in society.
