This society is one which Neil Postman, the author of Technopoly: The Surrender of Culture to Technology, would consider a ‘Technopoly.’ But Postman also perceives cultures in the world today to be nearing this socio-technologic status. The citizens are not concerned with themselves as individuals they have been conditioned to see the world as a collective and technologically oriented. The morals and aspirations of the society are not those of our society today - such as family, love, and success - but instead are focused around industry, economy, and technologic growth and improvement. The world in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World has one goal: technological progress.
