Title : Brave New World - Aldous Huxley - book
Summary :
Nearly a century ago, in stunning visions, Aldous Huxley imagined a future civilization down to its most surprising workings: a perfectly hierarchical World State had confined the last wild humans to reserves. The in vitro culture of fetuses had engendered the reign of the "Alphas," genetically determined to be the ruling elite. The lower castes, for their part, were conditioned to be fully satisfied with their lot. In this society where happiness is the law, family, monogamy, and feelings are banished. The best of all possible worlds is possible. Today, it even seems familiar to us.
