Beta

The five Castes in the book are Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon.  Gamma, Delta, and Epsilon undergo the Bokanovsky Process which involves shocking an egg so that it divides to form up to ninety-six identical embryos, which then develop into ninety-six identical human beings. The Alpha and Beta both don’t undergo the dividing process, which can weaken the embryo. The Beta is usually high functioning socialites. They accept everything that they have been taught. They live to satisfy their desires; they think and act in a superficial manner.
