Part 2/9:
New London is governed by a rigorous class system, comprising five distinct castes: Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon. The Alphas and Betas are the intellectual elite, enjoying privileges that starkly contrast with the lower castes, which are relegated to menial roles in society. This stratification is further enforced through an eerie conditioning process involving electric prods, compelling each individual to conform to their caste's designated roles. Though the city boasts a lack of crime and health issues, it masks a pervasive system of control that limits freedom and personal autonomy.
