Each caste is ranked from one to five with a letter from the Greek alphabet, ranging from the highest, Alpha which consists of children who are to become world leaders and great thinkers of the State down to Epsilon who are created to perform menial jobs and hard labor.
Through various means of artificial reproduction, the State has controlled the world's population and encouraged all citizens to embrace their station in one of five different castes. In the book the world as we know it has transformed and become something known as The World State. The World State is a dictatorship, mostly humanitarian and kind, the State worships the historical figure Henry Ford (creator of the Model T car) and is run by ten different World Controllers. The book is the story of a possible future set in London in the year AF 632 (AD 2540 by our standards of time measurement).
