"Brave New World" is a science fiction novel published by Huxley in 1932. It depicts a future society under mechanical civilization. In that world, humanity is stripped away by machinery. People in a state of "happiness" are pre-set castes and then hatched out of test tubes and baby bottles. The embryos are divided into different castes from low to high and receive different training. Those of the lower caste are short and ugly and take on the lowest jobs in society; those of the upper caste are tall and beautiful and constitute the upper class of society. In the new world, everyone is happy, and everyone's happiness is exactly the same. The book's reflections on technological development and concerns about the fate of mankind have made this book a banner in the "dystopian" literature of the twentieth century.
