Huxley's 'Brave New World;' significant contribution to the world dystopia

Brave New World depicts a modern, science-focused society. Here, science represents a crucial aspect of the society’s development. Inventions of humanity keep the society running and expanding, whereas anything natural causes its stagnation.

Community in Brave New World works as a huge machinery of mass production. The edifice labelled “CENTRAL LONDON HATCHERY AND CONDITIONING CENTRE” symbolizes the heart of the society. Daily, uncountable numbers of identical human figures are being produced within the walls of this building. Thousands of subsidiary workers perform this task to live up to the expectations of the World State. The World State represents the head of the community and prioritizes the work in the factories over anything else.

“A love of nature keeps no factories busy;” as the World State claims. Nature symbolizes freedom and independence of an individual. This concept must be, therefore, erased from people’s consciousness. The love of nature distracts people from work, which prevents the society from its growth and expansion.

Community in Brave New World is oriented towards the new world, the world of scientific innovations. It rejects nature, for its conception is old and dangerous for the society’s growth. The World State wants to get “out of the realm of mere slavish imitation of nature into the much more interesting world of human invention.” The World State encourages people to dismiss the ‘old’ and focus on the ‘new’ instead.
