Histoire
Tom Wolfe - one of the 20th century’s foremost voices in cultural criticism - went from local news reporter to international icon in 1968, with the publication of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test. Now voiced with vivacity and vigor by Audible Hall of Fame narrator Luke Daniels, the non-fiction swan-dive delves into the world of hippies, hedonism, and everything in between.

Histoire
This collection of 11 wide-ranging lectures which appeared originally in 1933, was based on lectures previously given when Jung was in the process of absorbing a considerable period of study of Eastern religions, Gnosticism and other religious sources. It was a time, according to the translator Cary F. Baynes, ‘when the Western world stands on the verge of a spiritual rebirth...after a long period of outward expansion, we are beginning to look inside ourselves once more.’

Histoire
Imajica is an epic beyond compare: vast in conception, obsessively detailed in execution, and apocalyptic in its resolution. At its heart lies the sensualist and master art forger Gentle, whose life unravels when he encounters Judith Odell, whose power to influence the destinies of men is vaster than she knows, and Pie "oh" pah, an alien assassin who comes from a hidden dimension.

Histoire
Less than fifty thousand years ago mankind had no art, no religion, no sophisticated symbolism, no innovative thinking. Then, in a dramatic and electrifying change, described by scientists as "the greatest riddle in human history," all the skills and qualities that we value most highly in ourselves appeared already fully formed, as though bestowed on us by hidden powers.

Beautifully narrated by Alessandro Juliani ( Battlestar Galactica), Lem’s provocative novel comes alive for a new generation.

Exiled to four years in Siberia, but hailed by the end of his life as a saint, prophet, and genius, Fyodor Dostoevsky holds an exalted place among the best of the great Russian authors. One of Dostoevsky’s five major novels, Devils follows the travails of a small provincial town beset by a band of modish radicals - and in so doing presents a devastating depiction of life and politics in late 19th-century Imperial Russia.

Description
In his final novel - which he considered his most important - Aldous Huxley transports us to the remote Pacific island of Pala, where an ideal society has flourished for 120 years.
Inevitably, this island of bliss attracts the envy and enmity of the surrounding world. A conspiracy is underway to take over Pala, and events are set in motion when an agent of the conspirators, a newspaperman named Faranby, is shipwrecked there. What Faranby doesn't expect is how his time with the people of Pala will revolutionize all his values and - to his amazement - give him hope.

Excellent Writing & Voice Acting
A brilliant counterpart to Brave New World and a beautifully written narrative. The voice acting was fantastic - Simon switches between characters and can somehow put on convincing British and British-tinged south Asian accents on with male and female characters with ease.

Could not wait for it to end
One of the most tedious audio I have finished. Maybe the most tedious of approximately 200 Audible titles. There are so many better books available-go elsewhere.

Utopian Manifesto Lightly Shrouded in Narrative
I’ve been curious to read this for a while and was very glad to finally get around to it. Shockingly modern in many concepts and still (mostly) holds up as a philosophical text. Was hoping for a little more of a narrative (ie. any kind of plot vs. just the conversational indulgences that give voice to Huxley’s own ruminations), but it feels wrong to judge it for that since it’s clearly not trying to be a novel so much as a utopian manifesto.
If you like Brave New World and want to read the utopian counterpart presented as straightforward philosophy, definitely give it a listen. If you’re looking for something entertaining, perhaps it’s not for you. Still happy to have crossed this off my list though.

Lecture Style
I appreciated the amount of thought that went into this message of the book, but I didn’t enjoy the lecture style of the writing as it felt like the author had an agenda to dismiss western ideals in favour of eastern mysticism. Interesting ideas were presented, but it was hard continuing to keep listening because the story was boring.

Oddly prescient story from the 1960s
Psychedelia, mindfulness, environment vs oil exploitation. This tale has this all and more. This is a parable about a perfect environment where man lives in harmony with man and nature but ‘progress’ is lurking in the wings to invade. Written in glorious and ponderous prose, it has wonderful classical 1960s British private school education at its heart.
It is remarkable how current thinking about mindfulness and CBT, with a liberal mix of magic mushrooms is presented with a voice from the past. Like Brave New Word, Huxley somehow manages to see things as they are now and were 60 years ago.
Having said that, this is not an adventure story and needs careful concentration to listen to.

Pretty good
Well this certainly was no Brave New World. But it starts getting interesting about half way through. Basically a critique of the sorry state of the world of international politics. Nice dose of Huxley for sure and well narrated too.
