Science fiction is a genre
of fiction in which the stories often tell about science and technology of the
future. It is important to note that science fiction has a relationship with
the principles of science -related stories involve partially true- partially
fictitious laws or theories of science.
Brave New World is a dystopian novel that participates in a tradition of a
specific fiction called soft or social science fiction. Typically set far in
the future, science fiction draws on current science and technology, but goes
further than what is actually possible.
Works of science fiction
also often take ideas from sociology, psychology, and anthropology and imagine
their future implications to new extremes. Brave
New World renders a future society in which current ideas about
evolutionary biology, genetics, population control, psychological conditioning,
and human purpose are taken to logical but not necessarily practical extremes
to the point that they abandon ethics, morality, and emotion.
Brave new world is a
science fiction because it tells the development of science in future the work
of future technology to controlling the human being. Science will be part of
society development and human management where human emotion will be
controlled. In the novel Writers categories five class of human in future
science using fictional baby production hatchery where baby born in tube and
they are condition according to their types of class .Those class name are
Alpha ,Beta gamma ,delta epsilons . The motto of world state is the community
identity and stability. Which is also control by the science in the Novel.
Every section of the novel
are written according to the law of science some are perfect creation and some
are developed fiction thinking by the Aldous Huxle . In the social science
fiction writing Aldous bring out the problem of society with the advancement of
science to controlling human being. And he focus on the future advancement of
science and technology that will be a part in human life and they will be
controlled by it. He wrote it thinking about the future that was already start
to mechanize the society in his time.
A major theme of Brave New
World and other science fiction novels is the clash between technology and
nature. These works examine the ethical limitations of the quest for
knowledge. It is a fight to the norm of Utopian Thought and built a new
thought out of this old one. The creation of scientific babies are emotionless
and they are created according to some conditions and class. There is no
religion and moral in that society. Everyone is happy but when they feel some
kind of pain they take the medicine soma. Thus the society was build up with
science and people under that society was being controlled by science.
Though Brave New World is
different from many other science fiction novels in that it doesn’t include
monsters, aliens, or the supernatural, it participates in many of the themes,
styles, and tropes of earlier science fiction novels and influenced the works
that followed it.
Brave New World warns of
the dangers of giving the state control over new and powerful technologies. One
illustration of this theme is the rigid control of reproduction through
technological and medical intervention, including the surgical removal of
ovaries,. Another is the creation of complicated entertainment machines that
generate both harmless leisure and the high levels of consumption and
production that are the basis of the World State’s stability. Soma is a third
example of the kind of medical, biological, and psychological technologies that
Brave New World criticizes most sharply.
It is important to
recognize the distinction between science and technology. Whereas the State
talks about progress and science, what it really means is the bettering of
technology, not increased scientific exploration and experimentation. The state
uses science as a means to build technology that can create a seamless, happy,
superficial world through things such as the “feelies.” The state censors and
limits science, however, since it sees the fundamental basis behind science,
the search for truth, as threatening to the State’s control. The State’s focus
on happiness and stability means that it uses the results of scientific
research, in as much as they contribute to technologies of control, but does
not support science itself.
After the publication of
Brave New World, dystopian science fiction novels increased in popularity for
both readers and writers.
Banned in Ireland when it
first appeared in 1932, and removed from shelves and objected to ever since,
Aldous Huxley's Brave New World is still making waves today.
These novels stand apart
from Brave New World because neither story Like the science fiction works that
came before it and those that followed, Brave New World throws current beliefs
about human existence into question while considering the implications of new
developments in science and technology.
Though the novel is a
science fiction from author mind but we can see some of its invention what he
wrote in the novel are becoming true. Babies are now born in the tube. And we
see some other science that controlling the society and country and there
citizens. Sometimes science fiction are written of thinking future changes
it can be predict by the writer of future invention. In this novel author
criticize the scientific controlling on human life.
