Island (1962): excerpt on http://www.erowid.org/psychoactives/families/families_excerpt1.shtml

 

In his 1962 utopian novel, Island, Aldous Huxley paints a picture of Pala, a place where young adults use a psychedelic "moksha medicine" as part of their rite-of-passage to adulthood. The island of Pala is a kind of paradise, created with the inherited wisdom of its two founders, a Buddhist Raja and a commonsensical Scottish physician. Huxley's ideas about childrearing, psychedelic visions, and tending to the dying were far ahead of his time.
