They even don’t want people -an individual. The New World is based by the “Community, Identity and Stability” rules. Because there are medication and treatment rooms to prevent that constantly. Unlike the old world, there are no human characteristics like being sick, old age, obesity etc. These pills are given everyone as a gift from the directors. The difference from drugs is that you feel like you are on holiday for a short time or up to 1 week and you don't get sick or feel bad when the effect of the pill goes away. To make people relax there are pills which are given as grams called “soma”. That’s why in this world there is no such thing as love or marriage. There is no monogamy and it seems more normal to be with more than one person. In addition, “Everyone is for everyone” and “Everyone is happy.” or such things are taught for hours in sleep and settled in the consciousness of babies. They learn the characteristics of their classes, the importance of consumption - if something is old or worn out, patch it and buy a new one - so that consumption is encouraged. Babies are learning a lot of things in their sleep.
One of the most important points in the New World System is “Hypnopedia”.
For example, even if the epsilon is a subclass, they are advised to be happy in their sleep that they are an epsilon. The aim in this is, “This is the purpose of all conditioning: to make people love their inevitable fate.” In this new world system where very strict caste system is valid, even clothing, thoughts and wishes have to be different according to the classes. For example, some babies are going to live in the tropical areas, some are going to be a chlorine and lead resistant chemical workers and some are going to be sensual movie producers. They are being categorised by character and personality traits before they are born. Categories like Epsilon, Gama, Delta, Alfa. Their fate is being labelled into categories before they were even born.
That’s why babies are born in the “Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre” with insemination. Mating to give birth is seen as barbaric. In this utopia there is no parent and parenthood and the words mother and father were considered embarrassing. Ford mentioned here is the famous Henry Ford who invented model T and mass production. This book is one of the classics in the science fiction category.Īldous Huxley’s dystopia takes place in A.F 632 (A.F: After Ford). When I first started reading Brave New World, I thought reading it would be very difficult because of the varied terms but on the contrary I finished it very quickly and I was very impressed with author’s imagination and perspective.
