Brave New World


            Brave New World is a satirical piece of fiction that was written by Huxley to emphasis that Brave New World is an unsettling, loveless and even sinister place. This is because Huxley deliberately endows his "ideal" society with features likely to alienate his audience. He contrives to exploit the anxieties of his bourgeois audience about both Soviet Communism and Fordist American capitalism. Aldous Huxley's vision of the future is a world in which totalitarian regimes dominate the realm of real world politics. He asserted that the goal of totalitarianism is to make people love their servitude, for which he offered several necessary steps: 1) an improved technique of suggestion starting in childhood, 2) a developed science of human differences so that each individual may be placed into the proper societal role, 3) a new narcotic which is less harmful but more powerful than heroin, 4) a "foolproof system of eugenics," which he implied to take much longer to achieve than the previous three steps. His intentions are to warn us against scientific utopianism. He succeeds all too well. Although we tend to see other people, not least the notional brave new worlders, as the hapless victims of propaganda and disinformation, we may find it is we ourselves who have been the manipulated dupes.
             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 Most of the inhabitants of our planet don't get a look-in, any more than they do today; religion has become outdated and not used ".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.
