chapter one

So far in Brave New World, it's been a little strange. It opens on this factory, in London, England. The director of the factory is giving a tour, to people tht I'm pretty sure are going to start working there. It set sometime in the future, but it hasn't said exactly when. The factory is not just your average factory, it mass produces humans. Using one ovary, they can produce 16,012 embryos, and the current maximum of identical twins per ovary is 189. The name of the factory is The Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre, and their purpose is "social stability." It has also been briefly mentioned that the embryos are put into different castes and the embryo's occupation is predetermined.

So far I'm reallly confused about what is going on. It doesn't really explain anything at all, I really hope it starts to though.
