Soma is a drug that is almost constantly being consumed by the people of this book. It is taken frequently and for any reason they want. Instead of using free time to better the living conditions of their society or just their own homes or selves they take soma and let the day drift away. Instead of being a person the members of this society are more like cogs in a forever turning machine. There is almost no free will or thinking, only the conditioning received at birth that makes most people content with everything. This contentedness is a fabrication developed by the world controllers to force the population into believing the are happy when in reality they are not. Finally there is the desire or lack thereof for knowledge and understanding in the society of Brave New World. Few members in this society understand how the machines and framework of the community actually works moreover there are less people that want to know. The people in this society don’t care how machines work or why. They just know that they work. Its is because of this that they never try to improve how things work and they certainly don't try to fix things that are broken because not only do they not care but they don’t know how to fix
