what is Soma?
- jrwoodruff 13y agoReference to 'Brave New World.' From Wikipedia: ...Soma is a hallucinogen that takes users on enjoyable, hangover-free "holidays". It was developed by the World State to provide these inner-directed personal experiences within a socially managed context of State-run 'religious' organizations; social clubs.

- throwaway1979 13y agoA fictional drug used to keep the masses in check. It is from the classic "Brave New World". His comment is quite cute in that regards :) Ref: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brave_New_World
- tomrod 13y agoMy best guess: something referring to Brave New World/1984/Clockwork Orange? Or perhaps this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soma

- nslamberth 13y agoSoma was the recreational drug in Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World", a sci-fi dystopia book that presented a different view of the future than Orwell's 1984. In it, the government uses entertainment and technology to keep people within their assigned classes as opposed to military force and surveillance.
