The Purpose of Brave New World

From some of the posts I've read on here(don't want to list specifics so it doesn't appear like I'm targeting anyone personally) regarding Brave New World it seems that some people are missing, what I think is, the actual point of the story.  This book isn't suppose to be a normal story which explains it's abrupt and arguably dissatisfying ending.  From my perspective, the point of the book was to simply give a glimpse of a possible future with a story being crafted to accompany that viewpoint.  In other words the story was only present to show off what our world could turn out like rather than being a traditional story where the "greater evil" is destroyed by the end of the book.  If you read some other novels that are in the same category as Brave New World then you'll see some similarities in what their focus for the story is.  For the most part a dystopian novel that acts as a prophecy will focus on an exaggerated aspect from the current time.  For Brave New World that aspect was the pursuit of happiness.  Other examples are in 1984(another dystopian novel) where the focus was on a "Big Brother" government where the government controls absolutely everything and Fahrenheit 451where the aspect is the absence of books and the lack of pursuit for knowledge/free thought.  If you read Fahrenheit 451 then you'd remember that that story also didn't have a fully fledged ending.  That was because the point of the book was to get you to imagine what it would be like if books were suddenly banned and the world was morphed around persecuting those who seek knowledge and want to go beyond the set borders of happiness put in place by that society.  1984 was written in a time where the scars of fascist and communist regimes, both totalitarian like the government in that book, were still visible.  Fahrenheit 451 was also written when the regimes of these ideologies were heavily prevalent and was inspired by how both of these governments destroyed books that contained any knowledge they viewed as "dangerous".  Brave New World was written as sort of an anthesis to 1984 where Huxley conveyed the idea that it wouldn't be an outside force that would subjugate the masses but a willingness expressed by the common folk who simply wanted to "be happy" after a devastating event(in the book it's the 9 year war which is meant to parallel the first World War, a lot of literature post-world wars was heavily pessimistic due to the results of the wars).  Notice how the main point of these books reflect the aspects of the time they were written.
