Knowing little about current music and its lyrics, I didn't get the Rush reference earlier.
But there does seem to be a shade or two of 1984 and Brave New World emerging. I hope Jason and Kat don't end up like Winston and Julia.
re. Your reply to my Ch.5 comment.
Male satisfaction is designed into the system - fellatio only?
Female satisfaction is not designed into the system?
Or have I missed something?
(Spoiler alert.)
By taking libido out of the human equation, there is no longer a need for sexual gratification -- for males or females. But the State still has an interest in collecting genetic material from males. What Cori does for Jason is pleasurable (similar to a back rub or other types of non-sexual pleasure), but that is not the reason why she does it. That reason is explained in a future chapter.
