Nineteen Eighty-Four and Brave New World were both written by men who had experienced, what was in their time the largest and most violent war in history. These tremendous world events revealed the truly deplorable and destructive nature of the state mixed with an inherently domineering human nature. Huxley and Orwell portray a satirical depiction of the eventual state of society as an extrapolation of the condition of the world in their own time showing similar stories of totalitarian dominance and complete control of society by world states. And while these narratives have similar dystopias the ways in which the world falls into control and that state supremacy is maintained is a stark contrast making for an interesting comparison. Huxley's image depicts a world in which the industrial revolution expanded beyond material goods to the mass production of humans themselves.

The accurate year of his birth is not known because conflicting records have been found (despite the fact that Hamilton himself kept up he was born in 1757).

The exponential population growth of the human species has created mass debate for centuries. There is a great speculation that involves the sustainability of the human species, along with other species, into the distant future. Over the years, as the numbers steadily rise the governments of several countries have made attempts to limit the exponential growth of the human race. Some scientists believe that the world will inevitably make the novel “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley, a living reality. This is concerning because if the government dictates how the population increases, it will also dictate all other actions as well, stripping society of its individuality.
In Aldous Huxley’s novel Brave New World, individual freedom is controlled by the use of recreational drugs, genetic manipulation and the encouragement of promiscuous sexual conduct, creating the ideal society whose inhabitants are in a constant happy unchanging utopia.

Huxley’s incorporation of the totalitarian ruler Mustapha Mond exemplifies the power that World State officials have over individuals within this envisioned society. “Almost nobody.
