hi me123---its been years since I read a brave new world so I cannot comment intimately, but...
the "fordist" in question there refers to henry ford. reading about him, and "Fordism" will give you a good start.
I seem to remember reading Henry Ford revolutionized manufacturing production line processes. So much so that cars became cheap enough for ordinary members of the public to buy them. However he also paid his employees pretty well, so they could aspire to buy one of his cars too.
According to Aldous Huxley, D.H. Lawrence once said that Balzac was 'a gigantic dwarf', and in a sense the same is true of Dickens.
Charles Dickens, by George Orwell
Thanx!! And do you know what they mean with a utopia?
