Question 1

Aldous Huxley - Brave New World (1932)

THT

Answer 1

Huxley’s ‘Brave new world’ is set 600 years in the future. Humans are grown in factories. Their class, appearance, beliefs and occupations are decided before birth and they are conditioned to accept their lot, much as members of society in Gilead are allotted a purpose.
Negative emotions have been all but eradicated, and citizens are kept calm through a recreational drug readily available, Soma, which is reminiscent of the constantly tired, possibly drugged, Handmaids at the Red Centre.
