chpt. 16

Summary: The three prisoners were taken to the office of Mustapha Mond. Bernard is very nervous. John wanders around the room looking at all of the books on a bookshelf. Mond enters the room and shakes hands with three convicts. Mustapha Mond then talks with JOhn about shakespear, the current world, and if all civilians under bokanovski influence could be alphas. Mond refers to a civil war on an island full of only alphas. He also explains how science and technology have to be kept simple for a stable world. Mond then talks about his past experiences with science. He then tells Bernard and Helmholtz that they will be exiled to a private island because of their personal interests and views. Bernard begins to beg to stay in London, and blames the whole incident on John and Helmholtz. Bernard is removed and sedated. Helmholtz is then asked by Mond which kind of climate he would like to be stationed in, and Helmholtz chooses an island with a bad climate since he could write better there.
