Edit: Sigh.... I got the dystopia wrong. Apparently everyone is apathetic in 1984 of their own free will and just drink, smoke and do morphine.

Brave New World is apathy through euphoria through soma.
Which yeah, drugged euphoria is not happiness.

Yeah sorry, the drug in 1984 is apparently just morphine and drinking yourself to death.

Wild how they both are so dystopian but 1984 is just straight up political fiction with like no SciFi and my brain was trying to add more
