Key Examples in Brave New World
Setting
Explanation and Analysis:
Brave New World is a dystopian novel, set in London and New Mexico in the year 2450 (over 500 years after the novel was published). Time is a key aspect of the setting: instead of using B.C. (before Christ) as a means of measuring time, the society of the novel uses A.F. (after Ford), replacing God with Henry Ford to reflect the dystopian society's worship of industry.
