Brave New World Quiz – Alphas, Epsilons and Soma

Brave New World, published by Aldous Huxley in 1932, imagines a World State where people are produced in hatcheries and sorted into castes from Alpha to Epsilon. Years are counted After Ford, with Henry Ford treated as a god.

The Bokanovsky Process creates batches of identical workers, and hypnopaedia, sleep-teaching, conditions beliefs. Citizens take soma, a drug that keeps them content, and enjoy feelies, films you can feel.

Bernard Marx feels out of place, and John the Savage, raised on a reservation and devoted to Shakespeare, rebels against the society. World Controller Mustapha Mond defends trading freedom for stability. The title comes from Miranda's line in The Tempest.
