Read full description of the books:
There are essays here on pretty much anything that struck Huxley's interest - which is, in itself, inspiring and admirable - but the unspoken theme running through much of the book is an effort to reconcile humanism with the colder truths of the 20th century (i.e. the long view of history, the long view of the cosmos, the long view of homo sapiens, and the capacity for technology to tamper with all of them)... and unfortunately he never really manages that reconciliation in a convincing way. He also tends to repeat himself. One feels that he's spinning his wheels hard against this grim stuff he's trying to grapple with - too hard, in fact, to make for truly edifying reading. An interesting intellectual self-portrait of a mind striving to see above and beyond the mid-20th century, but that's all. When, at the end, he reveals his sober enthusiasm for the spiritual possibilities of mind-altering drugs, it fits; you get the sense that, after years of questing, his consciousness had grown pretty disenchanted with what reality had to offer.

SONNY
This is a very predictable author. When you get a book for free, you can read it. The intrigue is present, the unbundling is clear.
