Admirável Mundo Novo

In the World State, humans are made in hatcheries, divided into castes from Alphas to Epsilons, and conditioned from infancy to love their roles. Citizens take the drug soma to avoid unhappiness, and family and monogamy are obscene ideas. Bernard Marx, an Alpha who feels out of place, takes Lenina Crowne to a reservation in New Mexico, where they meet John, a "Savage" raised on Shakespeare. Brought to London, John challenges the controller Mustapha Mond.

A classic for readers who enjoy ideas-driven dystopias. It leaves you asking whether comfort and entertainment can be as controlling as force.

Deep, contemplative and thought-provoking; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Deep Diver. Which reader are you?
