A World With No Life. The Book Brave New World, Describes

These are just a few examples of how the population is dehumanized and dominated by the World State through the use of technology. Huxley seems to have passed over the ideas of automation so that even the lowest in the caste system have a purpose, including toiling away in factories or working in elevators.

Our civilization has chosen machinery and medicine and happiness. That's why I have to keep these books locked up in the safe. They're smut." -Mustapha Mond (234). Instead of relying on fear to control the people and letting them choose from their own perspective, the government controls them through happiness; a fake happiness which is put into their heads as they grow up. In the novel, according to the World State, happiness is combined with stability. The basic goal of the brave new world is, supreme: the "happiness" of all, even if the consequences lead to the loss of freedom and free will. We can see how important it is for the state to improve happiness upon the people when Mustapha Mond says: "The world's stable now. People are happy; they get what they want, and they never want what they can't get. They're well off; they're safe; they're never ill; they're not afraid of death; they're blissfully ignorant of passion and old age they're so conditioned that they practically can't help behaving as they ought to behave. And if anything should go wrong, there's soma." (220). The government's goal is to control people but it uses a very inhumane way. People aren't experiencing what life is really about because the state wants to keep people away form questioning. The essay Brave New World Society's Moral Decline found in www.123helpme.com, talks about Huxley's beliefs and predictions of the future when he was writing the novel. Some of these, he believed were

Aldous Huxley’s repeated phrase and title “Brave New World” represents the climax of an unprincipled society in which technological advances changes the lives of many.

To begin, Huxley utilizes Aristotelian appeals in order to incite a response of discontentment towards dangerous technologies from his readers. In his novel, the author highlights the ways in which scientific advances could be converted by a totalitarian government into innovations that would ultimately alter how individuals behave and think. Towards the beginning of the novel, the author details the laws against natural

Brave New World takes place in a futuristic society that has a date system entirely based off Henry Ford. Huxley intentionally distorted the setting of Brave New World so distance was created between his audience and the reader. This distance allows the reader to cast judgment upon the society without instantly realizing that he is actually judging himself. Had Huxley not painted a futuristic society, he wouldn’t have been able to get away with as much criticism because it would be a direct insult to the reader.

Conditioning and Entertainment are significant advantages for the Controllers of the World State, because it is an easy way to satisfy their citizen. I think our entertainment in our society isn’t far away from the “feelis” or the other entertaining stuff they had in Brave New World, but I don’t think it was hard to predict for Huxley, because this way of satisfying people wasn’t really new and has already been used in our history:

Henry Ford in Brave New World Aldous Huxley wrote Brave New World in 1932. Brave New World is set in London, in AD 2540. The novel shows life in a utopia where there is advanced reproductive technology, class conditioning and sleep-learning. Everyone is happy in Brave New World and if they start to become unhappy, they can take a drug called soma.

Brave New World was written in 1931 by Aldous Huxley and later published in 1932.

Imagine being the only person in the world to know an imperfect society. Brave New World by Aldous Huxley and, Looking Backward by Edward Bellamy are two novels about a a corrupt government trying to create an ideal society. Both novels address the different social classes that exists in the new societies. Literary critic Elke Brown wrote an article about how Brave New World is in fact a new world. In these two novels the societies are broken up into different social classes and, how the government controls the citizens to make the world perfect.

The most obvious similarity is the way both novels treat both the past and language. The past is probably the more obvious out of the two. In Brave New World, they simply ignore their pasts, indicating that it has no relevance to their present or future world: "History is bunk." This was said by Mond, because it revolves around human frailties and emotions such as love, anger, vengeance, and temptation. Such things are no longer part of the human experience and, according to Mond, have no place in a society built around maximizing happiness. 1984 is seen as the opposite of Brave New World, "Who controls the present controls the past: who controls the past controls the future." If the past is able to be changed, or if the past is unknown,

Brave New World is a dystopian novel by English author Aldous Huxley.

Without it, there is no structure, no organization, and no society. Chaos and commotion would erupt without stability.

When I first started reading Brave New World, I didn’t really think much of the radical ideology. Then I started actually applying the book to the world today and saw the similarities. In the aspect of biological advancements, we are rocketing towards having the same morals in the aspect of “Oh, we can just create that in a lab, it’s not special to us.”

Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, is a novel set in London, England of AD 2540 or 632 A.F., “After Ford” as Huxley refers to it (Baldassarro). The novel predicts developments in reproductive technology, sleep-learning, psychological manipulation as well as classical conditioning that, through joint effort, impact a society as a whole. In 1999, the Modern Library ranked Brave New World as fifth place on its list of 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century (Modern Library Board Members). Then in 2003 a writer for The Observer, Robert McCrum, said that Brave New World was at number fifty-three in the “top 100 greatest novels of all time” (McCrum). It was then later listed as eighty-seven in BBC’s survey “The Big Read” (BBC).
