Ford: SymbolismThe choice of Henry Ford as the deity-like figure in Huxley's dystopia reveals the new world's value system. Henry Ford is the man on which the entire World State's system and religion is based on. Henry Ford was famous for the perfection of mass production and the assembly line. In Huxley's world, even humans are mass-produced and grown with the help of an assembly line. Efficiency, production, and consumerism are the most important values here; not morality, compassion, or piety (as might be the case with a more traditional deity).
