Technopoly

         In Neil Postman's Technopoly, he defines technopoly as the "totalitarian technocracy". Technocracy is a society that has the urge to invent and goes by traditional religion. This chapter talks about how the United states is the only Technopoly in the world, but many are beginning to show signs of joining the United States.
         In relation to Brave New World, Technocracy represents the New mexican Reserve. The natives do everything by religion and tradition. Whereas outside the reserve in the "New world" people live in a Technopoly, In-which redefines their "mean by religion, by art,by family, by politics, by history, by truth, by privacy, by intelligence, do that our definitions fit its new requirements. Through explaining this Neil Postman helps the readers of Brave New World to piece the book together.
        Also discussed in this chapter of Postman's book, is Fredrick Winslow Taylor. Fredrick W. Taylor is sought to be the founder of Technopoly through his application of scientific management. Postman explains how "his ideas about what culture is mad of remain the scaffolding of the present-day American Technopoly.
       Through reading this chapter, it has allowed me to better understand why the two different societies in Brave New World are so set apart.
