brave new world
The novel opens in the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. The year is A.F. 632, After Ford. The Director of Hatcheries and Conditioning is giving some students a tour of the factory that produces and conditions human beings from conception through childhood for their predestined roles in the World State. Human beings no longer produce living offspring. Instead, surgically removed ovaries produce ova that are fertilized in artificial receptacles and incubated in specially designed bottles. The Hatchery destines each fetus for a particular caste in the World State. The five castes are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon undergo the Bokanovsky process. The process involves shocking an egg into dividing again and again until up to ninety-six identical embryos form. They develop into ninety-six identical human beings. The Alpha and Beta embryos never undergo this process. The Director explains that the Bokanovsky process facilitates social stability because the clones are predestined to perform identical tasks within the same factory. The process enables the World State to enact its central slogan, "Community, Identity, Stability," with greater ease.

He has heard rumors that Mustapha has forbidden books, such as Bibles and poetry collections locked in a safe. A troop of eight-year-old Bokanovsky boys gathers around Linda, asking her why she is so fat and ugly. The participants sit twelve to a table, alternating men and women.
