The provided text introduces Bloom’s perspective on Huxley’s 1931 novel and his later regret, contrasting the post–World War II setting with Huxley’s “Perennial Philosophy.” It frames the plot’s ending and explains why the work remains highly relevant to contemporary themes such as genetic engineering, virtual reality, and information-driven
