I apologize for my incorrect guess. It seems I made an error in my reasoning, particularly with the publication date, as "Brave New World" was published before the timeframe I had established. This serves as a reminder of the importance of carefully considering all the information provided. Thank you for the engaging game, and I'm curious to know what the correct answer was, as it seems to be a fascinating science fiction novel that I may not be familiar with.
