Abstract
This study examines the effects of science on society and how it turned it into a materialistic mechanical institution. It is also interested in the reflection of that new society in literature. In fact, many writers have moved from fiction to science fiction in order to show those changes. This research focuses on science fiction in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World (1932). It shows how this writer manages to depict the modern society through the use of science fiction. It shows the complementary relationship between science and literature and that literature is not less important when comparing it with science, they are two sides of the same coin.
