Literature is a wonderful way of exploring ideas both old and current. It allows for an idea to be played out in any scenario by the author. Some novels relive something that has already happened, and some look to the future and make predictions based one the condition of society and the world at the time in which they wrote. Aldous Huxley had his own vision of where society is going. His satire on the development of technology and the path society is taking is expressed in his novel Brave New World. Although the novel is no literary masterpiece, it still begs for the solutions to several questions. Is modern science getting away from us? Should people currently be looking for a way to run a more effective and efficient society? Will society be forever plagued to be run by personal lust and desire? Are strict social classes a required extreme to a successful society? What is required to run society in the future? Brave New World touches on all of these. However, a burning question remains that may answer all other questions. Will individuals ever lose their capacity to think, act and feel emotion for themselves?
             The story opens with a very different world than any reader could be familiar with. Tomakin, the Director of a hatchery is presenting the Central London Hatcheries and Conditioning Center to note scribbling students. At the Hatcheries, Humans are "farmed" to fit one of five social sects. After their artificial birth they are sent to a Conditioning Center. There they are riddled with subliminal messages and trained like dogs to react and act certain ways. The director is very pleased with the progress of the Development Center and finds himself boasting from time to time. This is the first stab Huxley takes at modern techniques. He uses this to portray that modern day science is out running morals and ethics. There is a point between science and God. Perhaps Huxley was trying to differentiate between the two.
