The citizens of Brave New World are conditioned to a lot of subjects at a young age. This includes being comfortable with sexual activity‚ knowing their social caste place‚ and engaging in the use of soma when feeling sadness.

In his novel‚ Brave New World‚ Aldous Huxley introduces a society based on consumerism. The World State is a self-sustaining machine‚ in which constant production is supported by constant consumption. Reflecting upon our own society‚ there are quite a few unnerving parallels.
