You know, I can't think of any "futuristic utopias." I probably could when I was younger and still on the digital rez but they all look utterly dystopian to me now.

Well, Utopia is a fantasy concept parodying our ever-present childlike desire for a paradise on earth despite mankind's inability to create such a thing. Adults recognize that it's inherently impossible. Seeing the downsides now means you are cognitively an adult. Congratulations.
