Brave New World Aldous Huxley's Brave New World presents a portrait of a society which is apparently a perfect world. At first inspection, it seems perfect in many ways: it is care free, problem free and depression free. All aspects of the population are controlled: both as to number, social class, and mental ability. Even history is controlled and re-written to meet the needs of the party. Solidity must be maintained at all costs. In the new world which Huxley creates, if there were even a hint of anger, the wonder drug Soma is prescribed to remedy the problem. A colleague, noticing your depression, would chime in with the chant, "A gram is better then a damn." This slogan was taught to everyone, from the youngest to the oldest. Unhappiness, intellectual curiosity, disagreement, suffering- none of these feelings is allowed in the world which Huxley envisioned. Soma, (the predecessor of the modern day Prozac) would be prescribed immediately. Emotions of all types were strictly controlled. Another of the panaceas of society was that everyone enjoyed his or her work because he or she was "made" or trained for it when they were young. In Brave New World, society was strictly stratified. All births are completely planned and monitored.
