Okay, am I the only one who saw Brave New World as a utopia? Everyone's completely frigging happy!
Furthermore, the siciety is completely static -- it's designed that way. It cannot grow or adapt in the face of new opportunities or needs (eg climate shift, resource depletion). Would you want to live like that?
I don't see why the two are mutually exclusive.

It looks like they solved all their problems through technology, so they don't need to adapt to anything. Just full-time happiness!
