A dystopian future in which people are controlled through the use of android police and mandated use of drugs to suppress emotions.
A uniform and homogeneous world that suppresses
individuality and love.
A sterile bleak future where unquestioning conformity is the rule.
THX 1138 is a citizen of that future society living the reality imposed by the State until the time arrives when his perception of that reality begins to change.
