Ape and Essence

Ape and Essence (by Aldous Huxley, published 1948) is not about apes, it's a dystopia like Brave New World. The book starts off in hollywood with two movie producers who rescue a script from destruction. They are intrigued by the script and drive to the country to find its author. The rest of the book is the rescued script "Ape and Essence," presented in its entirety and without remark.
