In a Brave New World it is suggested that the price of universal happiness will be the sacrifice of the most important features of our culture: motherhood, home, family, freedom, and even love. He points out that happiness derives from consuming mass-produced goods, sport, immoral sex, "the feelies", and a supposedly perfect pleasure-drug, soma. His Brave New World is essentially a caring oligarchy, under the direction of ten world controllers; their spokesman is Mustapha Mond, Resident Controller of Western Europe. He governs a society where all aspects of an individual's life, from conception and constant reproduction onwards, are determined by the state. The individuality of Brave New World's two billion inhabitants is concealed. .
A government bureau, the Predestinators, decides a prospective citizen's role in the hierarchy. Children are raised and conditioned by the state bureaucracy, not brought up by their biological families. Value has been stripped away from the person as an individual human being; respect belongs only to society as a whole. Citizens must not fall in love, marry, or have their own kids. Society has no historical influence. It is interesting that in this perfect world knowledge of the past is banned to prevent jealous comparisons. One would think that history lessons would be encouraged instead. That way the people could uncover for themselves the horror that once was. What is so frightening is that I think that this is where our society is heading, and even scarier is the fact that I don't think we can help it. Brave New World wasn't written intending to evoke just how wonderful our lives could be if the human genome were rewritten, in fact it was nearly the opposite. .
Huxley was presenting to us a world which, in his time, was on the frontiers of science. He was issuing a deeply pessimistic warning against all forms of genetic engineering and eugenics. His view is to play it safe because nature knows best.
