How does Huxley associate ideas of happiness with consumption and a society’s well-being?

in Brave New World "Every one belongs to every one else‚" whispers the voice in the dreams of the young in Huxley’s future world — the hypnopaedic suggestion discouraging exclusivity in friendship and love.

Brave New World and 1984 were both written by men who had experienced war on the grand scale of the twentieth century. Disillusioned and alarmed by what they saw in society‚ each author produced a powerful satire and an alarming vision of future possibilities. Although the two books are very different‚ they
