Premise
The series "imagines a utopian society that has achieved peace and stability through the prohibition of monogamy, privacy, money, family, and history itself." In an update of the original novel, an artificial intelligence system named Indra connects citizens via a wireless network.
Summary
The series unfolds around John, who relocates from the Savage Lands to New London. New London's citizens live an anti-monogamous, anti-solipsistic, hedonistic existence. His mother (Linda) facilitates their escape from the Savage Lands but dies in the process. Although she wishes for a better life for her son, John's subversive influence infects and ultimately destroys New London society by disrupting its citizens' acceptance of its immoral caste system. In the aftermath, the New London AI (Indra), now embodied in John's ex-best friend (Bernard), is free to make the citizens of the Savage Lands less "savage" and John's now ex-girlfriend (Lenina) is promoted to make New London more "savage".
