    Would you bother reading/watching/playing scifi media that didn’t have some sort of conflict, like everything just went great?

      I’ve actually read some utopian literature. It’s cool to see what people in the past saw as an ideal future. We could use a little rebirth of the genre tbh

        Maybe you’re right, maybe the Tomorrowland concept is what the world is missing right now? Everything is a conflict to be overcome, noone imagines everyone just working together to achieve amazing things.

          I’ve read a couple utopian novels where the conflict is largely interpersonal drama against a backdrop of an ecologically sustainable world.
