Merriam Webster's definition of satire is a type of literary work used to ridicule human vices and follies. This type of work is presented in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, when he criticizes the power and control of the World State through the use of advanced technologies against members of the World State. Throughout the novel the World State is depicted as a totalitarian government that controls every aspect of its citizens' lives. This control is made possible through all the advanced technology available within the World State. Set hundreds of years after Henry Ford, the famous automobile manufacturer, the government's technology is highly advanced, a folly that Huxley is trying to expose to prevent a technological takeover of people's lives in the real world. Conditioning is a technological method used by the government to allow individuals to participate in a variety of tasks. Entertainment is also another factor used by the World State to maintain power. Censorship is also illustrated in the novel which presents the government's ability to control what is released into the World State. From the beginning of the novel technology has been a focal point. Brave New World is first set at the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. This center is where all human beings are produced and conditioned. The conditioning of a method used to influence one's mind with a variety of different values ​​and morals, predestines these new beings into five different classes Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. As written in Huxley's Brave New World "All conditioning aims to make people love their inevitable social destiny."

Ey's new consumerism is an important part of the lives of the world's members Citizens are encouraged to buy old things and get rid of of new things. These people of society conform to the consumerist aspects of society. The members of this society are born as consumers. A popular motto is “To finish is better than to mend” (Huxley, 52), which implies that it is encouraged to buy new things rather than keep old ones. This ideology implies the need for censorship. This is demonstrated when John the Savage asks Mustapha Mond, one of the world controllers, why Shakespeare is not part of the World State and Mond replies, “we don't want people to be attracted to old things. We want them to appreciate new ones” and censoring Shakespeare supports this cause. Works Cited Huxley, Aldous. Brave New World. New York: Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 2006.
