Brave New World
Six centuries on, humans are decanted from bottles into fixed castes, conditioned in their sleep, and kept content with casual sex, the feelies and the drug soma. A discontented specialist and his companion travel to a New Mexico reservation and bring back a young man raised outside the system. A tyranny of pleasure rather than pain; freedom traded for comfort and engineered contentment.
