Technopoly is described to be a civilization which is more focused on the efficiency rather than the traditional ways of the people. This text has many similarities to the book which we are reading in class brave new world. As they would bother work on their efficiency rather than the beliefs and the ideals of the common person. Technopoly is only allowed to form when technology is allowed to spiral out of control and no one is there to stop it or like in Brave New World where there is someone like the Director, who disposes of the few who resist it.
Neil Postman also relates to how Brave New World is a utopian society when he says “dozens [of utopian societies] were tried in an attempt to reduce the human costs of a technocracy.” This just shows how they are so closely intertwined with one another as they both talk about the perfect ideal society were the production of people and the use of technology is all that is required to bring the world to its full potential in the eyes of the people who think technology is the future. However there are also a lot of people like the so called “savages” in brave new world who still think that morals and religious views are very important. These ideas or religion tend to be cast aside when technology is put as the number one goal because as more people get into the idea that technology has all the answers the reason so believe in an higher power starts to fade away. This is because the thing which are said to be only possible by gods are now being done by ordinary humans which leaves not much for God to be superior over if now people can heal themselves, fly, move as fast as sound, and much more.
