" Euphoric, narcotic" it is all about soma.
It's the best tool the government has for
controlling its population. It sedates, calms,
and most importantly distracts a person
from realizing that there's actually
something very, very wrong – the citizens
of the World State are enslaved.
“You do look glum! What you need is a
gramme of soma.”

Throughout Brave New World,
the citizens of the World State
substitute the name of Henry
Ford, the early twentiethcentury industrialist and
founder of the Ford Motor
Company, wherever people in
our own world would say
“Lord”. This demonstrates for
technology—specifically the
efficient, mechanized factory
production of goods that
Henry Ford pioneered that
even at the level of casual
conversation and habit,
religion has been replaced by
reverence.
