Take heed: Without constant vigilance, this could be your future. Brave New World author Aldous Huxley was the gatekeeper, painting a bleak picture of the dystopia to come if the people were lulled into complacency by technology and tyrannical leaders. In this 1958 interview with Mike Wallace, Mr. Huxley discusses his vision of a world where society is subservient to technology, and empty liars with pretty faces hold the reins of power — a world with frightening parallels to our own.

The KilgourMD Bundle

Stanford dermatologist Dr. James Kilgour's eponymous hair growth brand, KilgourMD, has been shown to outperform the popular minoxidil, which only works to regrow hair once it's gone. The KilgourMD Bundle, however, puts patients on the offensive, too, providing a dual-acting proactive and reactive solution to hair thinning and hair loss. In clinical studies, the system — which is made from natural, plant-derived extracts and comprises The Prevention Scalp Serum and The Treatment — decreased visible hair fall by up to 30% and stimulated hair follicle growth by up to 200% over two months. Save 15% when bundling.
