Time and again, Huxley compared the fictional world he created many years ago with the quite real world surrounding him at the time of writing "Revisited" - and time and again found signs of a frightening, dangerous, and increasingly evident similarity… Where was he right, and where was he wrong? Which of his predictions did not come true, and which, alas, came true with sad precision? Answers to these questions, strangely enough, are not so obvious…
