The popular works of Huxley and Orwell that Chung discusses have help many see and escape from the very transhumanist ideology of science that she says their overall work promotes. The heroes of Huxley's novel try to escape from the world of soma and big brother, for example. So, clearly there is more to Huxley than a participant in an evil eugenicst British cabal. Chung uses guilt by association to make her argument, but it is better to view people like Huxley as complex like all humans, who offer things to learn from as well as things to criticise
