Aldous Huxley created a literary masterpiece that shows a possible, bleak future produced by the misuse of science and technology. In his book Brave New World, the World Controllers use various scientific methods to dehumanize the population in order to control them. The advanced use of biotechnology has allowed the government to completely eliminate the family and physically modify the population to meet specific specifications based on the needs of society. They also use different methods of brainwashing in order to ensure that the population conforms properly to their pattern of civilization. Through the use of primitive conditioning techniques combined with current techniques, everything people think, like and dislike is predetermined by the government. Of course, no system is completely perfect. By producing the miracle drug soma and circulating it in massive quantities across the world, the flaws in the system are easily closed and the dehumanizing dystopia becomes all the more acceptable. This is especially necessary when it comes to the making of human beings. In Brave New World, humans are created on assembly lines instead of being born naturally. In fact, the very idea of ​​family and love is widely considered pornographic. Hatcheries around the world use donated ovaries and sperm to create test tube babies that follow an assembly line similar to that used by Henry Ford. From the assembly line, embryos are physically packaged and divided into one of five global classes; Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. Alphas, the mentally and physically strongest citizens, constitute the highest class, while Epsilons, the mentally and physically weakest citizens, constitute the lowest class. Alpha and Beta...... middle of paper ......ls. They are created at the factory and customized to one of five product specifications. They are trained to accept the implications of society and their masters who control it. When they're not in an induced coma, they happily follow instructions like the robots they are. Although the technology in this world is what made all of this possible, it is not what caused this to happen. The global controllers who have abused this technology are the culprits. Technology is only as bad as the people who use it. Works CitedHuxley, Aldous. Brave New World. New York: Perennial Classics, 1998. Huxley, Aldous. “Hypnopedia.” Brave New World revisited.
