Basic Plot: This novel is set in the year 632 AF. The government controls the population of Utopia, there are only test tube births and an artificial process for multiplying embryos. Marriage is prohibited. There are ten World Controllers; these people control the government and all their plans. Initially students are given a guided party line tour through London's Hatcheries. Two employees who work there are Henry Foster and Lenina Crowne, they hang out too much and are discouraged by the state. Then Lenina's best friend, Fanny, gets angry at her for this reason. Lenina then meets Bernard Marx and begins to like him so much that she agrees to go on vacation with him to a wilderness reservation in New Mexico. This is a place where people are sent if they do not respect the laws of the utopian world. This is where problems start to occur and the director of the hatcheries, Tomakin, threatens Marx with exile if he doesn't mend his ways, because he has become very outspoken. While in this reserve Lenina and Bernard meet a savage, John, and his mother Linda. Talking to John and Linda, Bernard reconstructs their past. He discovers that Linda went to the reservation with Tomakin years ago and became pregnant; so Tomakin left her at the reservation never to see her again. Linda gave birth to John, thus breaking a law, and was never allowed into Utopia again. Bernard and Lenina took Linda and John back to Utopia with permission from one of the World Controllers. When they arrive home Bernard discovers that the hatchery directors are about to exile him, so Marx introduces John and Linda who greet him as son and wife. Tomakin then resigned in disgrace. Bernard and a friend, Helmholtz Watson, help adapt John to Utopia and spend every day showing him Utopia. John becomes more and more disgusted and upset with each passing day. Meanwhile, Lenina has become infatuated with John and has been making sexual advances towards him, and this ruins his image of her as an object of worship, so he rejects her. Soon his mother died, and John went mad and tried to bring the utopians back to sanity. A revolt takes place and Bernard and Helmholtz are exiled, but John is ordered to stay behind. John is determined to escape Utopia and flees to a deserted place outside London. But Utopia arrived... in the middle of the paper... book. I felt both shock and disappointment. The ending shocked me, but I have to say it was my favorite part of the book and I don't really care about the other parts of the book. I was disappointed that the book ended so and so suddenly. I also hoped and thought that there would be a happy ending, where both John and Lenina would end up together, or that the utopians would change their way of life. I would recommend this book to someone who likes to read science fiction books about the future, because this book could be a possibility of what the future will be like. Even a science fiction book like this would be appreciated by people who like reading science fiction books because it is a very technical and realistic novel, written by a descriptive author. In the year 1932, many things began to happen nationally and around the world. In the United States, Franklin D. Roosevelt had just been elected to the presidential office. The open-air theater opened with "Merrie England." And in Germany Nazism was beginning to take action, with Adolf Hitler as leader. These are just some of the events that occurred during the year 1932.
