Epsilon Minus (Huxley)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Aldous Huxley's novel Brave New World, the lowest caste is Epsilon-Minus. Epsilon-Minuses are commonly cited in the book as being equally as important as the highest Alpha-Plus, and serve jobs such as miner or elevator operator. Epsilon-Minuses are shorter than all others, and have a smaller intellectual capacity, therefore being referred to as 'semi-morons' occasionally.
[edit] Trivia
The term was the source of the name of the pop group Epsilon Minus.
