In Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, humanity exists within a highly controlled, technologically advanced society where individual freedom is sacrificed for societal stability. The World State manipulates citizens from birth through conditioning, ensuring conformity and suppressing dissent. The novel explores themes of superficial happiness, loss of personal identity, and the dehumanising effects of technological progress. Key characters, like Bernard Marx and John the Savage, highlight the contrast between natural human instincts and the artificially constructed society. The book raises questions about the price of stability and the ethical implications of genetic engineering. The setting depicts a future where pleasure is manufactured and history is erased, creating a bleak vision of a potential dystopian future. Short phrases like 'community, identity, stability' encapsulate the regime's values, while the phrase 'soma as happiness' symbolises the superficial comfort of the populace.
