Hard to say, they're both pretty good. BNW is probably a bit more dystopian, as it involves genetics.
Both great though.
Now, can I get a quick rundown on these two?

How is it dystopian, if 99,9% of the population is happy?

1984 is much more engaging from a pure aesthetic standpoint. Some people think that Brave New World is more 'accurate', but those people aren't aware of how succinctly Orwell was able to describe 20th century totalitarianism.

Brave New World until Trump won. 1984 now. Before you say that the question was "which is better," not "which is more relevant," I believe that a book's quality is entirely dependent on the context in which it is read. No such thing as intrinsic quality.
