Brave New World I

The society in Brave New World creates physical conformity by producing children using the Bostonovsky technique, where up to 96 children can be produced using one egg. These embryos are created to fit in with their caste, physically and mentally modified to be what society wants, and what their caste needs. Using Hypnopedia and conditioning, from "birth" the children are trained subconciously and conciously what they should believe, do and enjoy, thus creating mental conformity. To supress conflict and non-conformity, the government ensures that everyone remains in a illusional haze of happinness. They supply Soma, a drug that creates the feeling of contentment and keeps the population from thinking about any problems that there might be, but instead ignoring them. Erotic activity is a regular, and encouraged activity, even for children, and expensive games keep the economy thriving and the people occupied and happy. By keeping the population behind a veil of pleasure, nobody realizes what they lack in freedom. We might say that this is a dystopia, because of the extreme conformity and harsh caste system and general lack of basic freedoms, but to the people of that society, who only know that kind of life, would find it quite the opposite, because of their lack of knowledge of there being any other way to live.
