"Thank Ford! he was not the last." p. 79
Why would Bernard think to himself "Thank Henry Ford I am no the last on in Room 3210." At first, this made me think and then I made the connection: Ford is a symbolic god to these people. He is the supreme being who set the prime example of society. He was the first to come up with assembly line and mass produce cars. So, these people, who have come to mass produce and streamline people, look to Ford as the greatest. From the time, After Ford instead of Anno Domini (year of our Lord), to common expressions, Henry Ford has replaced God. Since, he started everything, he is God. Not just another god, but he IS God.
