While shipwrecked on the island of Pala, Will Farnaby, a disenchanted journalist, discovers a utopian society that has flourished for the past 120 years. Although he at first disregards the possibility of an ideal society, as Farnaby spends time with the people of Pala his ideas about humanity change.
The final novel written by Aldous Huxley, Island was penned as a counterpart to his most famous work Brave New World, which depicted a dystopian society transformed by the momentum of technological and industrial development.
