    Huxley's novel Brave New World, he creates a utopian society that achieves happiness at the expense of humanity. Though thoroughly offensive to the reader, the world Huxley creates seems almost believable because he fashions it out of societal problems he saw in his lifetime, many of which we still encounter today.
