Round 4
Science Fiction -- Brave New World by Aldous Huxley. Published in 1932.
I'm not much for the Sci-Fi, but this is a good one.
Quote:
The Introduction (Chapters 1-6)
The novel opens in London in the "year of our Ford 632" (AD 2540 in the Gregorian Calendar). In this world, the vast majority of the population is unified under The World State, an eternally peaceful, stable society, in which goods are plentiful and everyone is happy. In this society, natural reproduction has been done away with and children are decanted and raised in Hatcheries and Conditioning Centres.
