Fiction or Futuristic?

"Since each of us was copied at some point from a normal person, there with his or her life. This meant, at least in theory, you'd be able to find the person you were modelled from." -pg 139

This was a huge milestone in the book. Before now I had just assumed that the students were taken from their parents at a very young age without ever meeting them. Up until now I had assumed that Never Let Me Go  was the normal sort of fiction: it didn't really happen, but it could in the normal modern world or history. However, the concepts involved in the passage above are not of the normal modern world of today. Cloning people is a science not yet mastered or utilized. Nevertheless, in Never Let Me Go cloning has been developed into a program with schools and guardians and everything it needs to run smoothly.

Brave New World was obviously a futuristic sort of fiction from the start. The process of "birthing" and conditioning in Brave New World was never hidden the way it is in Never Let Me Go. I suspect there are more surprises to come in the newly revealed futuristic fiction that is Never Let Me Go.
