Imagine a world where almost everybody looks and acts just like you do. In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, this imaginary world where everybody is the same as everybody else becomes an awesome reality. A reality in which no one is unique and everyone lacks individuality. Aldous Huxley was trying to warn the political leaders of his era that if they weren't careful, a society with no uniqueness or individuality would follow in a short amount of time.

For instance, when Lenina Crowne tells her friend Fanny Crowne that she has been going out with Henry Foster for four months straight without any other relationships, Fanny lectures her about how no one else goes on that long with a single man. "It's such horribly bad form to go on and on like this with one man," (pg. 41). This scolding that Fanny delivers is not her opinion, but the opinion of the society she lives in.

One important part of their conditioning is hypnopaedia, or sleep-teaching. When the children are sleeping they are exposed to hours upon hours of audio transmissions that tell them what and how to think. Here is a c...
