A review by mmckinnon10
Ape and Essence by Aldous Huxley
4.0
Huxley depicts a post-WWIII world, which is a hellish landscape (except for New Zealand). It's interesting that he framed this as a script within the book, which juxtaposes an un-ruined world with an apocalyptic one.
I found the two indicated causes for the third world war fascinating. The first is nationalism, which has even now been on the rise. The second is the loss of the individual within society. When in our world, political tensions are rising alongside nationalism, thinking about the role of the individual is an interesting thought experiment.
