In 1962 Huxley published his opus magnum: Island. This is one of my all-time favorites! If you don't already know this book you might want to have a go at it. V.V.V.V.V.

Huxley shows that he is a true Malthusian, mentioning overpopulation as a threat to liberty.

I was thinking Greek mythology. Are you thinking that or Marvel? Aldous is Cassandra in my scenario.
