What does A.F. 632 represent?

• A. The founding year of the World State
• B. Year of Stability
• C. A global census year
• D. A famine relief program

Answer: (B)

Time in the World State is measured using a calendar that counts years “After Ford.” A.F. stands for After Ford, since the society venerates Henry Ford as the symbol of efficiency and social order. So A.F. 632 is simply the year 632 in that dating system—a point in their timeline that underscores the regime’s emphasis on stability and standardized production. This isn’t identifying a founding year, a census year, or a famine-relief program. It’s a date within the World State’s own calendar, tied conceptually to the era of stability promised by Fordian industry and conditioning.
