What is Brave New World?
Brave New World was a novel published in 1932, written by British author Aldous Huxley.
It depicts a utopian world governed by a singular political authority, that manipulates children from birth on how to behave through brainwashing.
The world is fulled by open sex and drugs, with concepts such as monogamy, money, family and private prohibited.
The novel revolves around Bernard Marx, who is exiled from the New World and encounters the Savage Reservation, where he meets Linda and her son John.
The title of the novel stems from a quote in the William Shakespeare play The Tempest.
Alden plays the one of series’ protagonists John The Save, who is dissatisfied with the life in the so-called Savage Reservation, and strives to enter the New World.
There he meets factory worker Lenina Brown (played by Jessica) and romance blossoms between them in a world where monogamy and singular love are strictly prohibited.

While people are free to love whoever they please, the society strictly forbids monogamy, privacy, money, family, and even the concept of history itself.’
The trailer ends on a haunting note, as a narration by John asks: ‘If this world is so perfect why is it upside-down?’ before another voice warns: ‘You are the beginning of something, something necessary.’

Brave New World is based on the 1932 novel of the same name by Aldous Huxley, and depicts a utopian world governed by a singular political authority, that manipulates children from birth on how to behave through brainwashing – revolving around the motto of ‘everyone belongs to everyone else.’
Everyone is given a specific position in the society according to their rank, with the Alpha and Beta ranks being the highest, and Gamma, Delta and Epsilons being the lowest.
