Technology and Brave New WorldAlthough the book Brave New World by Aldous Huxley was written a long time ago, its subject has become more popular since the Most of the technologies described in the book have, at least partially, become a reality. Huxley's Utopia community is a futuristic society engineered by genetic engineering and controlled by neural conditioning with mind-altering drugs and a manipulative media system. Yet despite the similarities, the reader also discovers many contrasts between the two societies. Perhaps the most striking contrast between Huxley's utopia and our modern society concerns the question of procreation. The majority of babies born in our society today are still the result of sexual intercourse between a man and a woman. In many cases, the birth of a child is a memorable and joyful event for the woman. In Utopia, however, if a woman is caught having offspring, she will be punished by exile. In the eyes of leaders, offspring that are not produced according to society's standards pose a threat to society's existence. As today, pregnancy, in utopia, could be avoided by various methods. Where our society uses male and female contraceptive methods, Utopia offers a substitute for pregnancy (a procedure in which the utopian woman enjoys all the psychological benefits of childbirth without undergoing it) and a Malthusian exercise (similar to birth control pills current). However, both Modern Society and Huxley's Utopia explore the benefits of artificial reproduction, although Utopia took it to the extreme: the Bokanovsky process is a method by which the normal development of an egg human is stopped, then budded, producing many identical eggs. “My good boy!” "... The Bokanovsky process is one of the main instruments of social stability! (Huxley, 7 years old). Not only has this method created millions of "robot-like" citizens for the utopia, but the rulers have supreme control over any threat of overpopulation. Utopian predestinators decide the future function of each embryo, essentially assigning it class status. In this way, the leaders of Utopia are also able to maintain the balance of social classes in the way they believed would benefit everyone. Although the reader sees a certain dissipation of social classes in modern society, in Utopia class distinctions were palpable. A five-tiered caste system is maintained, which ranks Alphas and Betas at the top, followed by Gammas, Deltas, and the semi-idiotic and omnipresent Epsilons. The motto “Community, Identity, Stability” frames the utopian social structure.
