Brave New World
Imagine a world where almost everybody looks and acts just like you do. In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, this imaginary world where everybody is the same as everybody else becomes an awesome reality.

Another example of the lack of individuality in Aldous Huxley's "dystopia" shows up in the preceding paragraph. straight without any other relationships, Fanny lectures her about how no one else goes on that long with a single man. One important part of their conditioning is hypnopaedia, or sleep-teaching. "Crowne" is one of the female surnames for the countless women in the futuristic world. When the children are sleeping they are exposed to hours upon hours of audio transmissions that tell them what and how to think. In this twisted society you don't even own your own name, but you share it with countless others. From birth, people are rigorously trained and conditioned on principles and values of their controlled lives. Besides they wear black, which is such a beastly color.
