"Brave New World" is one of the most iconic works of 20th-century dystopian literature. Alongside George Orwell's "1984" and Yevgeny Zamyatin's "We", it is considered one of the three pillars of the dystopian genre, with profound influence on the global intellectual sphere. Drawing upon extensive knowledge of biology and psychology, the book depicts a fictional society set in the era of Ford, or the year 632 A.F. (After Ford). It portrays a world where humans are controlled from birth to death, due to advancements in social and biological engineering. In this "brave new world", humanity has become mere puppets in the hands of monopolistic genetic corporations and political figures, with control starting as early as the stages of genetic manipulation and embryonic development.
