"Island" is Aldous Huxley's life's work, in which the author counters his earlier, ironic vision of the future. In this novel, instead of a gloomy satire, he offers us a picture of a community living in isolation, guided by laws derived from deep reflections of Eastern philosophy. Huxley surprises with the accuracy of his predictions, amusing himself with the contrast between the consumerist West and the social psychology and education used by the islanders. At the same time, he shocks with the anti-devotionality and radicalism of some proposals, especially in the sphere of sexuality.

This book, first published in the early 1960s, remains bold, innovative and encourages discussion about the principles of the world in which we live. It is a must-read for anyone looking for alternative visions of the future and wanting to understand how Eastern philosophy can influence the shaping of a better society.
