Technology is a major part of the stabilized utopian society of Brave new World. Throughout the novel technology is discussed in the ways of the Bokanovsky process as well as Conditioning. The DHC first introduces the bokanovsky process to only be used on the lower castes, “standard Gammas, unvarying Delta’s, uniform Epsilons”(Huxley 5) and ninety-six identical embryo’s was the limit for the Bokanovsky process.

Lend me your ears …’ he had never \spoken in public before and found it very difficult to express what he wanted to say. Don’t take that horrible stuff. It’s poison, it’s poison.”(Huxley 185). The problems experienced through these themes are also experienced in the themes of the film
