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.

Cassandra and its Hydra lieutenants.

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

My inverted superhero pop humour. Hell, as bald as I was, I was Cassandra in my old town. Edward Snowden is the biggest modern 'Greek chick'.
