1Anthrax BombBBBWeaponsExplosives

Anthrax Bomb
People still went on talking about truth and beauty as though they were the sovereign goods. Right up to the time of the Nine Years' War. That made them change their tune all right. What's the point of truth or beauty or knowledge when the anthrax bombs are popping all around you?

2The Blue Pacific RocketBBBTransportationAirlines

The Blue Pacific Rocket
Lenina's laugh was frank and wholly unmalicious. "How funny you are!" she said, and she quite genuinely did think him funny. "You'll give me at least a week's warning, won't you," she went on in another tone. "I suppose we take the Blue Pacific Rocket? Does it start from the Charing-T Tower? Or is it from Hampstead?"

3Calvin Stokes and His Sixteen Saxophonis...BBBMusicMusicians

Calvin Stokes and His Sixteen Saxophonists
Song played at the Westminster Abbey Cabaret: They entered. The air seemed hot and somehow breathless with the scent of ambergris and sandalwood. On the domed ceiling of the hall, the colour organ had momentarily painted a tropical sunset. The Sixteen Sexophonists were playing an old favourite: "There ain't no Bottle in all the world like that dear little Bottle of mine."

13Scent OrganBBBTechnology ProductsAudiovisual Devices

Scent Organ
The scent organ was playing a delightfully refreshing Herbal Capriccio-rippling arpeggios of thyme and lavender, of rosemary, basil, myrtle, tarragon, a series of daring modulations through the spice keys into ambergris, and a slow return through sandalwood, camphor, cedar and new mown hay with occasional subtle touches of discord-a whiff of kidney pudding, the faintest suspicion of pig's dung back to the simple aromatics with which the piece began.

14SomaBBBDrugsNarcotics

Soma
Drug handed out for free to all the citizens of the World State. In small doses, soma makes people feel good. In large doses, it creates pleasant hallucinations and a sense of timelessness. The citizens of the World State are encouraged to take soma by "hypnopaedic" sayings like "A gram is better than a damn." When they experience strong negative emotions, citizens take a soma "holiday" to distract them from the unpleasant feelings.

There Ain't No Bottle in All the World Like that Dear Little Bottle of Mine
Song played at the Westminster Abbey Cabaret: They entered. The air seemed hot and somehow breathless with the scent of ambergris and sandalwood.

The Sixteen Sexophonists were playing an old favourite: "There ain't no Bottle in all the world like that dear little Bottle of mine."

16Westminster Abby CabaretBBBNightlifeBars

Westminster Abby Cabaret
At twenty past nine they walked across the street to the newly opened Westminster Abbey Cabaret. It was a night almost without clouds, moonless and starry, but of this on the whole depressing fact Lenina and Henry were fortunately unaware. The electric sky-signs effectively shut off the outer darkness. "CALVIN STOPES AND HIS SIXTEEN SEXOPHONISTS." From the facade of the new Abbey the giant letters invitingly glared. "LONDON'S FINEST SCENT AND COLOUR ORGAN. ALL THE LATEST SYNTHETIC MUSIC."
