Brave New World

How does the author depict London in the future?

He describes it as a big city in which natural reproduction is an obsolete method to procreate and the government has the control to decide what kind of people are allowed to have children or not

What kind of ideology is represented by motto on the building?

The interests of the community are first than the personal interest then they create people without their own identity in order to achieve stability.

Is there such a thing as Natural Selection?

No because in Natural Selection the stronger survive, in this case only few people decide what kind of people could reproduce it.

If you could decide who to reproduce/clone, who would you pick?

I would choose smart people with certain level of studies or economic level this means that if they wouldn’t have the necessary level of studies required to have children but their economic level is high then they could have children because they would prove to have the necessary skills and abilities needed to succeed in life.
