Plot Synopsis
Brave New World takes place in a state-run utopia where drugs are not only legal, they are encouraged, as is sex for pleasure - not reproduction. The totalitarian government controls all areas of society and provides entertainment and happiness in order to control it's subjects, rather than tyranny or forced compliance. The novel challenges our view of what the future holds and poses the stark question of whether or not we would exchange freedom for happiness. -
