Brave New World

Brave New World is a dystopian social science fiction novel by English author Aldous Huxley. the novel is set in a futuristic civilization known as the World State, which is based on science and efficiency. Children are conditioned to lose their emotions and uniqueness at an early age in modern society, and there are no enduring relationships since "everyone belongs to everyone else". Lenina Crowne, a hatchery worker, is popular and sexually desirable, but Bernard Marx, a psychologist, is not. He is shorter in stature than the average member of his high caste, which gives him an inferiority complex. His work with sleep-learning allows him to understand, and disapprove of, his society's methods of keeping its citizens peaceful, which includes their constant consumption of a soothing, happiness-producing drug called Soma. Courting disaster, Bernard is vocal and arrogant about his criticisms, and his boss contemplates exiling him to Iceland because of his nonconformity. His only friend is Helmholtz Watson, a gifted writer who finds it difficult to use his talents. Crowds of people descend from helicopters to see the show. Lenina comes, and John tries to whip her as well. Soon later, John is overtaken with passion and falls asleep after being exposed to soma. He hangs himself the next morning, outraged by his role in the system.
