Here's a book on how biotechnology could make it possible to abolish suffering entirely. There's a British woman named Jo Cameron with a rare genetic mutation that causes her to experience almost no physical or psychological pain with seemingly no side effects. Genetically engineering the population to have Jo Cameron's genetics would drastically reduce the amount of suffering that exists in the world.

>muh authoritarianism
Depressives tend to be more submissive on average than happy people. There are lots of possible blueprints for genetically-driven paradises, and the necessity of a system like that of Brave New World has never been rigorously argued for.

Not a book, but Qualia Computing has a lot of articles about the scientific analysis of drug effects.
