People in Huxley's utopian society pursue happiness through a drug called soma. Soma is the essential tool in keeping a utopia in a Brave New World. It does so by keeping order, stability, and control. Soma is successful in doing this because of its effects. The drug has the effect of distracting people from their anger, passion, and ambition. It is made mainly in a tablet form and is taken by people in almost a "religious" fashion when it is involved in worshiping the idol and creator of their utopia

The people in Huxley's world pursue their happiness through drugs. This however results in the people having no real emotions or feelings. The use of drugs blinds them from the reality of life. Since everyone uses soma, everyone is blinded from the feelings and emotions of life. This differs in our world because only certain people are using drugs. If a drug such as soma was introduced into our world, the danger is we might become a world without emotions and feelings. John "the Savage" was raised in a society somewhat similar to ours. He is later brought into Huxley's utopian world. He shows us through his actions that a world without feelings is not worth living in. John experienced both worlds; however he chose the world where there are feelings and emotions. However, John could not return to this world so he killed himself. Huxley creates the character of John to show us that living in a world without feelings or emotions is not "living life" at all.
