4. A brave new world is set in LONDON, UK. Not that many native Americans in that neighborhood.

It's true that the book is set in London, but I believe that the 'native reservation' that the characters visit is in fact in the US.

Or was it South America? I should read that book again.

Interestingly one German translation is set in Berlin, and uses the names of German capitalists.

It's a single world state and the Savage Reservation where John was born is in New Mexico.
