I once read a sci-fi story with behavior like this but darn if I can remember which story it was or who the author was. I do remember because it made me sick.

Dangerous Visions, an anthology of short science fiction stories. I remember reading it too, many years ago, and this story about Norway reminded me of the same story... pretty sad...

Sherri S. Tepper, King's Blood Four

It was the bad guys that were doing it, but it still made me queasy too.

It sounds a lot like Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World."

Like "1984" it wasn't written as a guide it was a warning.
