I hope never to answer the question "where do babies come from?" with any reference to the first chapter of Huxley's book. In this satirical novel, Ford's assembly line theory for mass production has been extended to include the production of humans. The civilized world is no longer burdened by art or literature, people no longer suffer the pains of personal attachments and Ford is a god, if Gd was allowed to exist. Unlike other dystopian novels, Huxley's isn't dark and gloomy but is, instead, told with brevity and more than a little "snark."
