Brave new world (1980) 4 of 18
In the future the world is perfect. Everybody takes Soma. Everybody is happy. Everybody is nice. Everybody is orderly and composed. Everybody has sex every day. No violence, no problems, no feelings. Manufactured in tubes and divided by IQ, humans are produced as either an Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta or Epsilon. Alphas are tall, good-looking and smart. Epsilons short, zombielike and moronic. This new civilization lives in sheltered domes that provide them with every comfort and necessity they require, barely aware of the savage, brutal world outside, each performing the daily tasks programmed into them from birth. One day, the assistant director of the central hatcheries wants to spend his holiday in the outside savage reservation. While the official in charge of the dome, Mustapha Mond, doesn’t like the idea at first due to the risk of mental contamination, he is persuaded to let the director go.
