One may think that the society in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World is a gross representation of the future‚ but perhaps our society isn’t that much different. In his foreword to the novel Brave New World‚ Aldous Huxley envisioned this statement when he wrote: "To make them love it is the task assigned‚ in present-day totalitarian states‚ to ministries of propaganda...." Thus‚ through hypnopaedic teaching (brainwashing)‚ mandatory attendance to community gatherings‚ and the use of drugs to control

Problem 15 Suppose that any firm intending to produce SOMA must build an integer number of plants: 0‚ 1‚ 2‚.... Building Q plants costs each firm 3.5 × Q dollars. Each plant produces one unit of SOMA. If firm 1 builds Q1 plants and firm 2 builds Q2 plants‚ the market price p for one unit of SOMA will be 9 − (Q1 + Q2). For example‚ if firm 1 builds 2 plants and firm 2 builds 4 plants‚ the market price will be 9 − (2 + 4) = 3 per unit. At this price firm 1 will make a profit of 2 × 3 − 2 × 3.5 = −1

A second reason that shows my dislike for Brave New World is on (pg 88): “Swallowing … that second dose of soma had raised a quite impenetrable wall between the actual universe and their minds.” This case from Chapter 5 [part 1] is a huge reason why I do not like this particular novel.
