I found out what Ford is. He is Henry Ford. The one who founded the Ford company. But why chose him? Ford is very famous because he has perfected mass production and assembly line. Why is this important? Because in Brave New World, humans are MADE in mass production. This was probably inspired by Ford himself. Henry Ford has revolutionized the world as it is in Huxley's dystopian novel. He is praised by everyone, just like Big Brother is praised in 1984. He is so important in the story that the years are no longer measured with Jesus' birth (as religion no longer exists), but rather with Ford's birth. B.C. is now A.F. (After Ford).
