Soma, a fictional drug from Aldous Huxley's Brave New World, presents a chillingly persuasive argument for the dangers of manufactured happiness and societal control. Its allure lies in the promise of instant gratification, a blissful escape from the complexities and discomforts of reality. However, this manufactured contentment comes at a steep price: the erosion of critical thinking, the suppression of individuality, and ultimately, the acceptance of a deeply flawed and unjust system allowing the status quo to remain. Soma is not just a drug, it is a tool for social engineering, highlighting just how easily a society can become dependent on superficial pleasures to maintain order.
