Cloning, Machines, Drugs
and your Mind
Huxley's
view of a utopian society in his novel is rooted in the technological
advancements of the time in science, medicine, and mass production and
mass consumption. The choice to do this reveals his sense of humor, his
displeasure with the general societal idea that life is easier and better
when we're thinking (and doing) less and producing and buying more, and
his fear of the dehumanization and alienation of the individual due to
technological advancement. |
