    I would suggest it‘s more of a „Fahrenheit 451“ scenario.

    You forgot the third pill of Fahrenheit 451 he ate before the other two.

    A Brave New World would be an improvement over what we have today for many, many people. That really says something about our society.

    Jesus Christ have you actually read the book?

    You think being bred in a jar as one of 96 identical twins with deliberately diminished mental capacity, a genetic aversion to sunlight and indoctrination in the crib via auditory hypnosis so as to be HAPPY to be a slave to the rest of society, working in a factory doing the same repetitive job all day would be an improvement?

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    The soma will at least help everyone cope in a world of designer babies and totalitarianism.
