Civilizations have always found ways to rise and fall with time. Each civilization always attempts to withstand the tests inflicted upon it.

The mere thought of a fantastical future brings about a myriad of thoughts, ideas, and outrageous predictions that are capable of instilling fear. Sometimes authors and various writers tend to introduce such predictions or theories into their works, which evidently encourages criticism and further analysis. Aldous Huxley, the influential author of the novel Brave New World, is rather guilty of committing such actions. In Brave New World, there happens to be a multitude of aspects that oddly reflect how society functions today. For example, Huxley incorporates the more complex theme of technology, which ultimately turns the novel 's assumed utopia into an underground dystopia.…
Fantasizing a world where every worry, stress, and care disappears has been an ever present part of human existence throughout history. It may even be safe to say that a world where constant happiness is a reality and conflict is not, has been the ultimate goal of mankind since the beginning of time. Perhaps with the astounding speed of technological advancement this far-fetched dream of human beings may soon be a reality. However, in the persistent struggle to create such a perfect world, sacrifices are overlooked or even deemed non-existent, especially in literary works which glorify the ideals of an eternally content society. Yet in the novel Brave New World, written by Aldous Huxley, provides an alarming idea of what a perfect world could…
It is alarming how quickly technology has advanced over the years. Our society today, especially the next generation, rely too much on technology to the point where they cannot go one day without it. This can make people seem more social on the internet when they are not in person. Privacy was valued more in the past and people are being controlled, not physically but socially. George Orwell’s novel, “1984” offers a more plausible view of the future than Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” through his ideas of privacy and control.…
Our society becoming Brave New World The goal of dystopian novels is to portray the future of a society if it continues on the path that it is on. Three of the most famous dystopian novels are Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451, George Orwell’s 1984, and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Bradbury and Orwell depict the future as the government using technology to control people. However, Huxley depicts the future as a society who finds absolute pleasure in technology. Huxley’s future is the most accurate to our society’s future when compared to Orwell’s and Bradbury’s because of his use of technology and pleasure.…
“If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face—for ever.” (3.3.34, Orwell) The character O’Brien declares this line in Orwell’s novel. The quote paints a picture of the type of future the novelist was predicting in both his fiction and the real world. A similar sentiment can be found in another dystopian publication Brave New World.…
In the passage, Neil Postman contrasts George Orwell's vision of the future from the novel 1984 with that of Aldous Huxley's in the novel Brave New World. In 1984, Orwell warns that we will be “overcome by an externally imposed oppression”, whereas Huxley’s vision is that no external force is required to deprive people of their autonomy because we will come to love oppression, “to adore the technologies that undo their (human) capacities to think”. Huxley’s assertion of modern society is more relevant today than Orwell’s because our dependence on technology has made us oppress ourselves, where we have become responsible for our own downfalls. “Huxley feared that what we love will ruin is”. This refers to our love for technology and how we…
In this satire novel, Brave New World, Aldous Huxley uses literary devices such as, imagery and symbolism to tell of the explicit activities that go on in the society of the 1930s and to warn society of where the world may end up if people continue to live corrupt lives.

Brave New World does a great job of exposing these lifestyles through satirical descriptions.…
