Brave New World by Aldous Huxley Book chats Discussion Questions Q1 In your own words, please briefly summarize the article. Q2 Do you think the development of new and advanced technology is always good? Q3 What do you think about the way technology is used to create castes in Brave New World? Q4 The characters in the story take soma, a drug that seems to dull a lot of experiences. In this way, it seems that taking soma cures unhappiness itself. Might there be an issue with curing unhappiness? Why or why not? Q5 Where do you think the title Brave New World comes from? What do you think “brave” means, in this context? Q6 In the United States, there are some people that feel that Brave New World should be banned; they believe that students should not be allowed to read the book. Why do you think this is?
