It is the year AF 632 (After Ford) and a World State is in place which has control over most of the planet. Through a combination of biological engineering and extreme human conditioning treatments order is maintained throughout the state.

Citizens are 'hatched' into predetermined social roles which keeps the seemingly utopic society balanced. Promiscuity, material consumption and total obedience are achieved by way of mind control or sleep teaching from birth. The social roles range from Alpha to Epsilon, A-E, 'A' being the intellectuals and 'E' being the moronic worker drones.

A government approved drug called Soma is freely distibuted which helps to keep the populace docile and content. Community, Identity and Stability is the motto driven home by the World State.

There exists another world outside the State, known as the Savage Reservations, where the inhabitants still get married, make love, give birth and die as of old. It is through the introduction of John 'the Savage' from the reservations, a half-breed, later into the story, that the two worlds come face to face and questions are raised as to who can claim to be really free, and who is it that are really happy, the world state citizens or the 'savages' of the reservations. Is this really a utopia or is all not as it would seem.
