I read Brave New World in school. In reflection after I discovered game, John the Savage was a beta (in the pick-up sense, not in the caste sense of the book). How he courted Lenina or whatever her name was, might have worked in his cultural context, but in the modern world you'll see where his beta-game led him. Lenina is in so many ways reflective of the Modern American Woman. Can't believe how prophetic Huxley was when he wrote the book in 1932.
