BBC Radio 4 Extra - Aldous Huxley - Brave New World, 2. Values

It's 2116, a dystopian world where eugenics, promiscuity and happiness are gently enforced

In a corrupted society of promiscuity and eugenics, can John 'The Savage' remain true to his values? Stars Milton Lopes.

John the "Savage" has been brought back to a "civilised" world where promiscuity is the norm, eugenics a respectable science and the drug Soma freely available. 

Can he retain the ideal of freedom his childhood taught him?
