Abstract: Over the centuries, like many other authors, Aldous Huxley through his novel Brave New World tried to illustrate a futuristic society solely built upon the advancement of science and technology. The society seemingly appears idealistic, akin to that of a utopian society- where people are born in factories, where chemicals are used to do pre-birth class division, where children's who are conditioned in habituation centres have the opportunity to avail of artificial pleasures. But the reality is quite the opposite and is in fact a reflection of a dystopian society in a disguised form. The book paints the picture of an autocrat who obsesses with being in control over every aspect of the state, depriving freedom of people through various means and especially through the excessive use of the drug-Soma. The book is particularly outstanding keeping in mind its farsightedness. In an age where technology and artificial intelligence has taken over, Huxley's futuristic book offers a deep insight. In this context this study tries to argue if these innovations can materialize the dystopian concept into a reality. By interpreting the relationship between subject and object in their socio-political context this study outlines the importance of regulating emotions such as greed and hunger for power, and the necessity to grant and protect the freedom of human minds in a society.
