Science + technology

This is a novel was developed in London, where there were some labs (nursery rooms) in order to procreate new humans beings with different abilities about their development and improvement. Also, they used to drink a substance called soma, it is like a dream-inducing drug. In their labs they separated babies in several groups according their necessities, like some of them will become a lawyers, teachers, athletes among others. Groups of these babies are alpha, beta, delta, epsilon and gamma. They grouped several babies, so if they want that these babies hate book and flowers, they put the babies in small rooms, then when they see a picture about flowers or books, an alarm sound too loud until the babies cry and in this way they will hate books and flowers. At the end of the novel they destroy the labs and people left to drink soma.

NEW WORLD

Perfect, conditioned, moderm, high tech, liberal, goverment, no love.

MALPAIS

Poverty, sickness, booze, freedom, religion.

"In my opinion this process in order to conditioned babies is wrong, because we as humans beings cannot take out opportunities or desires of each person, just because we are talking about their future, and we cannot take, give or teach what they are going to become in the future. Everybody has the chance to obtain the best for them in order to improve every day. However each person has the decision in order to have a better future or worse. It is not depends of us"

She is disliked by both savage people because of her "civilized" behaviour, and by civilized people because she is fat and looks old.
