Lastly, Huxley warns the readers about what technology devoid of value could do to human beings. Furthermore, there is no place for religion, literature, and family values. In addition, the natural process of childbirth is controlled in test tubes. Utopia turns into dystopia when we witness the inferior role of women and the humiliation of the intellectual.

On the other hand, he shows us the nightmarish utopia by the lack of moral values in the society. On one hand, Huxley paints a picture-perfect society that is at the height of civilization with genetic and scientific advances. But as we go on, we find that free thinking is limited or nonexistent by the manipulation of scientific advances like hypnopedia and genetic conditioning. The opening of the novel does not strike the reader as dystopian and certainly neither does the title. In Brave New World, Aldous Huxley shows us a society in which technological advances have changed the entirety of human life on earth. I argue that Brave New World anticipates the Foucauldian paradigm of resistance, subversion and containment, ending in eliminating the forces that pose a challenge to the ideology of the world state.

The world state eradicates love, religion, art and history and deploys language devoid of any emotions and thoughts to control the mind that judges and decides. I argue that Brave New World depicts a dystopian systematic control of mind and body through eugenic engineering, biological conditioning, hypnopaedia, sexual satisfaction, and drugs so as to keep the worldians completely controlled, collectivized and contented in a totalitarian society. In this paper, I discuss the manipulations of minds and bodies with reference to Foucault's biopower and disciplinary systems that make the citizens of the world state more profitable and productive. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932) is a nightmarish depiction of a post-human world where human beings are mass-produced to serve production and consumption.
