I never read this book, I have now added it to my reading list. From your discription of the book, it sounds like some of the aspects of the book have taken in place in our society.
The advance of genetics, have changed our world, probably not to the extent in the book. The educational system, is used to program students to be cogs, instead of free thinkers.
We also currently have better living through chemistry. Ii don't think any of the drug companies have adopted the name "Soma."
I look forwars to part two of your series.
