The Caste System

This society is made up of the Caste system. The Caste system is irreversible. You are born into your caste and you may not change. Each caste was created differently for different purposes.

Alphas- The Alphas are the highest caste besides the Alpha plus. They do not go through the Bokanovsky's process. Bokanovsky's Process is a process of human cloning. The process is applied to fertilized human eggs in vitro, causing them to split into identical genetic copies of the original. Alphas where the color grey. Alphas do not contain any alcohol in their surrogates. Alphas maintain the highest jobs in the world state, working mostly in the labs. Alphas are the superior caste (besides the alphas pluses) so everything about them is believed to be superior. Alphas are taller than all the other castes, they are also the highest in intelligence. Except Bernard he is an exception.

Betas- The Betas are the second highest caste. Betas wear the color mulberry. They also do not go through the Bokanovsky's process and they do not contain alcohol in there blood surrogates, just like the alphas. They are allowed to interact with the Alphas and they are not looked down upon and not seen as inferior as much as the lower castes. They are similar to the alphas they just are perceived as slightly lower in all categories.

Gammas- Gammas are the third caste and are considered to be the average caste. Gammas wear the color green. Gammas went through the Bokanovsky's cloning process. They also have alcohol in the blood surrogates, but not as much as the lower castes. Having Alcohol in your blood was only for the inferior castes. Gammas also get more oxygen than the Deltas and the Epsilons.

Deltas- Deltas are the second lowest caste. Deltas wear the color khaki. Deltas go through the Bokanovsky's process. They have a lot of alcohol in the blood surrogate, but a little less than the Epsilons. The Deltas have lack of oxygen, but they get more oxygen than the Epsilons. The Deltas job are bad, but not considered to be worse than the Epsilons.

Epsilons- Epsilons are the lowest and worst caste. Epsilons wear the color black. They can not read or write. Epsilons are deprived 80% of their oxygen and have the most alcohol in their blood surrogates. Epsilons jobs are considered to be the worst that no one else wants to perform.
