They aren't happy. They are drugged. Any time anyone starts to have any questions or qualm of any kind, they have been trained to drug themselves into insensibility rather than think about it. Anyone desiring individuality is a pariah.

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!
