One of the ways to achieve this is to give everyone a drug called soma, which makes one mindlessly happy. To keep things this way, society makes sure they are as busy and distracted as possible. Since all people are conditioned into this mentality from birth, everyone is perfectly comfortable and happy in their ignorance. All they care about is the never-ending entertainment. People get together just to have fun and sex – emotional connections between them are nonexistent. The very concept of family or mothership is considered offensive and inappropriate. All children are born through artificial reproduction, and thus, people are raised in castes, not families. The dystopian society described in Aldous Huxley’s book is based on mindless consumerism, the caste system, and heavy social conditioning.
