Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.
A classic collection of essays on the relationship between ideas and society which draws heavily on Huxley's engagements with Buddhist philosophy.
The product of a bygone era, Ends and Means diagnoses modernity without the despair or self-promotion characteristic of later engagements. One instead feels the vitality and honesty that animated Huxley's life and continue to inspire readers nearly a century later.
