While creating his “Brave new world” Huxley was depicting a society where as a result of scientific progress humans and their desires are predetermined by pre-birth programming: humans are born into casts, while their desires are strictly controlled and those, which can not be satisfied, are eliminated before individual’s birth. As a result on the material level everyone is happy; however, this world is a world of inhuman clones, a world, where there is no such a phenomenon as a personality. People are equal, society is stable, possible strong emotions do not exist, Shakespeare is forbidden, electroshock develops hatred towards books and flowers.

As Huxley himself wrote, “Brave New World” has become a polemical response to the proposed by Wells model of the ideal “scientific” society, its tragedy and rebellion against it. The book is not against scientific progress in itself but against the affects this progress can have on human personality. In comparison with other anti-utopian works, Huxley’s novel features material well-being of the world, not false wealth, like that of Orwell in “1984”, where the mental suffering of a man is closely connected with his welfare, but indeed the absolute abundance, which ultimately leads to degradation of the individual. Human beings and their personality, identity and self awareness, are the main objects of Huxley’s analysis. “Brave New World”, more than any other work of this genre, is relevant precisely because of this focus on the human soul. In the world of assembly lines and blunt mechanical physiology, free, natural people are an exotic entertainment for the crowd of programmed human machines.

“Stability,” said the Controller, “stability. No civilization without social stability. No social stability without individual stability.”(Huxley, chapter 3) . Hence the main goal is to regulate all forms of individual life so that thoughts, actions and feelings are identical, as any breach of identity leads to instability and threatens the whole society. All human desires are predetermined in advance: those that society can meet are met, and the unrealistic ones are removed even before the birth through the appropriate genetic modification.

One of the unshakable foundations of the dystopian “brave new world” is the complete subordination of truth to specific utilitarian needs of society. What is incompatible with common happiness must be controlled. Everyone is equal, but separated from one another by belonging to castes. Before being born, people are divided into higher and lower castes by chemical manipulation with their fetuses. Number of categories in the “Brave New World” is very large – Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and so on alphabetically till the Epsilon. It is noteworthy that unlike in “1984” where lower caste is just illiterate people, the epsilons in the “Brave New World” are specially created as mentally handicapped for dirty and routine jobs. Hence the higher castes consciously refuse any contact with the inferior ones. On the other hand, Supreme Controllers simply can not enter into the category of “happy babies”, as they understand the underlying system.

However, in their servitude the ¨happy babies¨ are as well far from being equal. If the “brave new world” can not provide everyone with equal work, the “harmony” between a man and the society is achieved through deliberate destruction of all intellectual and emotional potentials of a man which will not be needed in his activities.
