Huxley wrote Orwell congratulating him on “1984”. He stated:
“Within the next generation I believe that the world’s leaders will discover that infant conditioning and narco-hypnosis are more efficient, as instruments of government, than clubs and prisons, and that the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience.”

That does not seem celebrating the world in “Brave New World”.
“About 99.5 per cent of the entire population of the planet are as stupid and philistine as the great masses of the English. The important thing, it seems to me, is not to attack the 99.5 per cent – except for exercise – but to try to see that the 0.5 per cent survives, keeps its quality up to the highest possible level and, if possible, dominates the rest.”
As for narco-hypnotism, yes, he was very much a proponent of it and wrote extensively about it. That fact that he sees that which he forcefully advocated for as an "instrument of government" should tell you all you need to know about the totalitarian tendencies of the eugenicist and Fabian socialist. He was as wicked as they come. Right up there with Crowley.
