What 'Brave New World' accomplishes in doing is stirring up the question of what truly brings us joy in the world, and if relying on Soma pills is a healthy crutch for all of these citizens to cling to. Have we gone too far down the rabbit hole? See, there's nothing to worry about - everyone can be happy all of the time, right? Varying in seven different colours and strengths, depending on how negative or low you are feeling, you take one pill to ensure instant gratification and reinstate your happiness level. However, one ingenious method that ensures each person living in New London enjoys themselves at all times of the day and night, is a drug called Soma. But that in itself leads to barriers erupting between citizens, which may be a recipe for disaster. The World State’s caste system, which sees workers ranked in order of status - Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon - ensures that depending on your rank you can obtain certain perks with your status. Of course, this might sound alien to us, but in a world where the citizens know no different, it is their everyday life. But can all of this freedom bring you true happiness? The rules are simple - no partners, no family ties, and no privacy - and if you follow them the unified government that oversees New London, the World State, can see that citizens are having the times of their lives (and staying within their lines). What looks like a wonderful lifestyle superficially, once you dig a little deeper, not everything or everyone is as happy as they may seem.
