Brave New World background

Brave New World

In a futuristic society, a self-taught individual from a primitive background, well-versed in Shakespeare, is granted access to his parents' world, only to struggle to conform to its restrictive norms.

In a futuristic society where pleasure is prioritized over morality, love is forbidden, but casual sex, dubbed "engaging," is strongly encouraged. Citizens are kept content with a legal drug, soma. People are created and cloned on assembly lines to fit into one of five social classes, ranging from the ruling Alphas to robot-like Epsilons. Bernard Marx, an Alpha male with a penchant for thought, and Lenina Disney, a young woman, visit a reservation of "savages" and encounter a handsome young man named John.
