Written in 1932, Brave New World is a story of a technologically advanced future (AD 2540) where humans live in a perfect Utopian society where no one feels any hunger, suffering, or pain. This is accomplished by having reproduction and education under state control — rendering the archaic concepts of family and independence unnecessary. Entertainment and drugs (soma) are freely provided by the state so one can always be happy. But what is the price of this Brave New world?
