Not only are their minds controlled by the disciplines, but also physical bodies are disciplined into submission and literally taken away from their rightful owners, as people are considered the property of the State. In Ape and Essence, Huxley indicates that people and their lives are highly controlled and regulated by the totalitarian State. In this dystopian fiction, Huxley illustrates a society in which the postwar government employs disciplinary systems to control and manipulate its citizens. The anxieties of WII stimulated Aldous Huxley to express his fear about the dark future of humanity through composing Ape and Essence. This is an interdisciplinary study to show human manipulation through Foucault ' s concept of biopower in Aldous Huxley ' s Ape and Essence (1948). I argue that Brave New World anticipates the Foucauldian paradigm of resistance, subversion and containment, ending in eliminating the forces that pose a challenge to the ideology of the world state. The world state eradicates love, religion, art and history and deploys language devoid of any emotions and thoughts to control the mind that judges and decides. I argue that Brave New World depicts a dystopian systematic control of mind and body through eugenic engineering, biological conditioning, hypnopaedia, sexual satisfaction, and drugs so as to keep the worldians completely controlled, collectivized and contented in a totalitarian society. In this paper, I discuss the manipulations of minds and bodies with reference to Foucault's biopower and disciplinary systems that make the citizens of the world state more profitable and productive. Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932) is a nightmarish depiction of a post-human world where human beings are mass-produced to serve production and consumption.
