Instead, the “government” in Brave New World is the World State, which uses science to ensure the highest amount of stability. However, the downside of this advantage is that happiness and freedom are sacrificed. The World State citizens are prohibited from having religious beliefs because “Christ” and “God” are replaced with “Ford,” in attempt to make society’s emphasis more on technology. Also, the caste mobility, having children, and reading classic novels are all forbidden in the World State. The citizens are forced to live in a society where there is little freedom to experience, in which technology governs who is born in each caste and their innate characteristics. Totalitarian rule is very detrimental because according to John, life is not worth living without the things the World State prohibits the citizens from practicing. As a result, this leads John to hang himself in the end, an action that could have been prevented with more justice
