Aldoux Huxley's Brave New World, Walter Tevis' The Man Who Fell To Earth, and Mockingbird

Not SF but there's a lengthy part of Dostoevsky's Notes From Underground on this topic. Here, utopia isn't achievable because it assumes that man will act in his best interests; man has free well, including a will to act spitefully and destructively against his own interests; and man wouldn't be happy if he could just live comfortably and eat cake. Walter Tevis Mockingbird, in articular, is written along these lines. He depicts a future where automation has created comfortable lives and instant gratification, where robots govern and work for us, but people become sloth, illiterate and unhappy.
