The author's vision is very powerful, but I don't really see this taking place. It is very strong because it turns society into a completely different world. I don't really see this happening. I do not see the world becoming stable. I cannot see everybody give into a world government, or huge government used in this society. The chances of this society in this book is very very rare. In all honesty, I can't even see how the author can think of this being a possibility. This society uses a magical potion/plant called soma that gives a false image of happiness with no negatives. They have too many what if's in this society. Like, somehow breeding everybody to become perfect or making them into a lower class. This is very unlikely, and I consider it a what if, what if we can breed people into classes? The main reason why I can't see this society taking place is due to their stability. They try hard to be stable. Our society today is constantly changing. I can see the idea of wanting it to be stable, but I can't see the actual ability of being stable. Like I said earlier, people have different opinions and will always think differently of what society wants its people to be. People will always want to be themselves, I think.
This author gives us a hope that everyone will be happy someday, well, at least people will try to create happiness. He is tyring to say that medicine will greatly improve our society (soma). He uses a controlled embryo center to give stability in the society, which means that he hopes to have a controlled population in the future so we don't have to worry about over population. Lastly, he gives an alternative of death. Every dead body is cremated and the remains will do good for the future benefiting a eco friendly environment producing good materials instead of just rotting.
