Children of the New World
Alexander Weinstein introduces readers to a set of new vocabulary in the chapter titled "Excerpts from the New World Authorized Dictionary." In this chapter, readers learn about terms related to new software that is embedded into people's brains such as “brainflea” (57); and of the complications arising from these new products, such as “togging-fatigue” (62). This chapter also includes a number of terms related to pleasure: both sexual and drug-related. This reminds readers that, as this society is advancing into more and more cybernetic blending, people are becoming even more sharply fixated on their own personal comfort and pleasure.
