Imagine falling for such a dumb gimmick.You truly have to be low IQ to blindly accept that a world that is almost word-for-word the same as the worlds described in the most popular works about utopia is actually a dystopia because the author wants you to think that way. Truly indicative of inability to think critically and evaluate what you see instead of blindly relying on the judgement of the author.
The burden on proof is on the author to show why pretty much the same world as was described as utopia by Plato, Thomas More, Campanella and dozens of other people is actually a dystopia.
The emotional dysfunction of the main characters in BNW is not an argument. Obviously it's impossible to make literally everyone in the utopia perfectly content and happy: the point is that they're as content and as happy as they could be. Some people are just naturally dysfunctional, antisocial, genetic freaks, and the government of BNW uses science to ensure that these cases are as rare as possible and that he society is as cohesive, as functional as possible.
Also, your immediate dismissal of the mere notion that the world in BNW could be anything but the most horrific dystopia that we should avoid at all costs demonstrates that you are incapable of articulating why you think so and that you've fallen for the memes.

I really hope you're joking.
