The book Brave New World takes place in a futuristic Earth, ruled by the "World State". Humans are genetically engineered into a ruling caste, from the lowest, Epsilons, to the highest, Alphas. People are subconsciously taught how they love their caste ranking, and how they're always happy. An addictive drug called Soma helps keep the population content, providing long, happy, hangover-free holidays. People that disagree with the World State or are against it's standards and ideals are sent to live on Islands, such as Iceland, which are basically huge zoos. The main protagonist is an Alpha Plus psychologist named Bernard Marx, who because of his job designing subconscious sleep-messages, disbelieves all he was taught. His beliefs are shared by someone he meets on an Island, known as John the savage. Both of them believe that the world is, in fact, so much of a paradise for humans that humans no longer exist. They are replaced by programmed bags of meat, the only difference between the "humans" and today's robots is the "humans" act with some unpredictability, but within boundaries (pre-set, of course.)
