    This chapter summary provides key details about Chapter 2 of Brave New World: 1) It describes the screaming of babies as they undergo conditioning, likening them to puppets being tugged by unseen wires. 2) It discusses how conditioning takes away choice by restricting casts from an early age, so individuals cannot choose and are made to like their predetermined roles. 3) The society described in the book has gross viviparous reproduction and children are brought up in conditioning centers, not by parents, showing this type of society is already in place.
