A Utopian Philosophical Novel of Pacific Islands, Psychedelic Moksha, and Western Capitalism

Shipwrecked off the shores of the isolated Pacific island of Pala, cynical British journalist Will Farnaby arrives as a covert agent for international oil tycoon Lord Joseph Birron. His secret mission is to secure drilling rights to Pala's vast untapped petroleum reserves.

Instead of a backward territory, Will discovers a flourishing century-old utopian society blending Mahayana Buddhism with Western science, communal child-rearing, and the spiritual use of psychedelic moksha-medicine. As Will shifts his allegiance to the Palanese people, neighboring militaristic dictator Colonel Dipa plots an invasion.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Aldous Huxley's final novel serves as the hopeful utopian counterpart to his classic Brave New World. Essential reading for fans of George Orwell, H.G. Wells, and Ursula K. Le Guin.
