Antagonist

The story begins with an artificial world where everyone is in control by the antagonists, the controllers. These people are the ones who manage the balance of the world, like gods. They can do literally anything they want and play with living being as if they were toys. Some examples are, cloning people to increase population, drug people with soma (anti-depress drug) to keep people control, dividing people in to different classes by intelligence, and controlling people's behavor. This story seem to aim for a perfect ideal world where everything is peaceful because it is in control. However, I think something should be left alone because this sort of peace is no different then suppressing the world and change it to one's bias liking. I get the idea of like playing legos, where one person can do what ever he want with it and no one can stop him. It doesn't matter if its right or wrong and in this book, things are more extreme because these toy legos are living being called humans.

I think the social commentary is that people who have too much power tend to abuse it. They become arrogant and believe their every action to justify and attempt to attain peace which everyone wants, but that is a lie blind by having too much power. That is why government should never have their power uncheck, because if left alone this futurn just may happen if government are as capable and powerful as this story go.
