"The lib kadres have this woodblock brain - many of the visions of Huxley and others were meant as probes and warnings. Instead they are taking them as manuals."

I was referring to Julian Huxley, not Aldous Huxley ("Brave New World"). Regarding the latter, you might be correct - the book might have been a warning, and not, as you say, a blueprint.

Oh yes, Aldous describes both the malthusian society and the drug culture. But it was clearly not meant as a blueprint for society.

Wells did some of the same, only his warning speculations were not among his best known works.

We have modern sci-fi authors, describing complete genocides done for the best of the majority. Very popular with th libs, who think they’re user manuals.
