Brave New World is a utopia conceived on the basis of species-self-interest masquerading as a universal paradise. Most of the inhabitants of our planet don't get a look-in, any more than they do today; religion has become outdated and not used ". You can only be independent of God while you have your youth and prosperity; independence will not take you safely to the end. Well, we have now got youth and prosperity right up to the end. What follows? Evidently, that we can be independent of God. Mustapha Mond in chapter 17 explains to the Savage why society can now function without God. They have been able to manipulate life and extent youth. To them "History is bunk.” The Director in chapter 3. This explains that with no God or other divine morals, the past is regarded as backward and detrimental. Huxley makes an emphasis on the over use of drugs that manipulate with our emotions "Christianity without tears that is what soma is.": Mond in chapter 17. Here Mond highlights the true reasoning behind soma; it makes people content without causing the sadness and guilt of Christianity. This emphases how fordism has changed the perspective of society.

When Bernard Marx tells the Savage, he will try to secure permission for him and his mother to visit the Other Place, John is initially pleased and excited. Echoing Miranda in The Tempest, he exclaims "O brave new world that has such people in it." Heavy irony. Like innocent Miranda, he is eager to embrace a way of life he neither knows nor understands. And of course, he comes unstuck. Yet if we swallow such fancy literary conceits, then ultimately the joke is on us. It is only funny in the sense there are "jokes" about Auschwitz. For it is Huxley who neither knows nor understands the glory of what lies ahead. A utopian society in which we are sublimely happy will be far better than we can presently imagine, not worse. And it is we, trapped in the emotional squalor of antiquity, which neither know nor understand the lives of the god-like super-beings we are destined to become.
