In the novel Brave New World Aldous Huxley depicts a future devoid of individuality. The novel acts not only as a warning for the future but also as a satire on the world Huxley lived in. ... These issues include the use of technology, the idea of blissful ignorance and individuality.
Brave New World warns of the dangers of giving the state control over new and powerful technologies. One illustration of this theme is the rigid control of reproduction through technological and medical intervention, the Bokanovsky Process, and hypnopaedic conditioning. But even beyond control of birth and education through technology, this abuse of technology can be seen throughout their adult lives. The society of Brave New World are conditioned to want bigger better things thus leading to the creation of complicated entertainment machines that generate both harmless leisure and the high levels of consumption and production that are the basis of the World State’s stability
What is most interesting about how Huxley portrays technological advancements is that while technology has been allowed to grow and flourish, actual scientific advancement has been stunted.
