Even so, there are few verticals filled with more utopian dreams than the studios and startups building virtual and augmented reality experiences.

Surprisingly, the tech community seems to be embracing the film, even though it is somewhat critical of some of the more utopian tendencies of that community.
|

A more utopian idea would be to simply junk the Constitution, the way we junked the Articles of Confederation, and write a new one from scratch.
|
|
More utopian types would say the dancefloor is no place for such matters, that it is a hallowed ground that must exist aside the issues that drive us apart.

Indeed it feels like only one conceivable future, and not the worst imaginable: It's a better organized, more utopian and also more totalitarian society than any we have yet created.

Fidel Castro's socialist island state was a utopia, at least in aspiration: Everyone who lived there was meant to be "working for a more Utopian existence," as Wollheim had put it.
|
|
Are we slipping toward a dystopian future where hate continues to thrive, or have recent watershed moments, movements, and discoveries set us on a road toward a fairer, more utopian environment?
|
|
What I like about more utopian thinking is that you can just say, if you were building it from scratch, you just wouldn't build it this way, because this way is wrong.
|
|
In her video for "Hi", for instance, we once again see someone alone in their room, rolling around their bed, deep in thought, but the neon-lit scene feels more utopian somehow.

But I think the left always has to operate both on a practical level — figuring out what to do about this decision, that candidate, or this campaign — and also on a more utopian level.

With his previous releases, Hawkins had opted to keep his personal background obscured; this time, though, he spread it far and wide—the press release described the record as an attempt to point to the more utopian aspects of Hawkins' social housing experience.

But what's important to realize, whether our blip in history is truly pivotal or just another moment of five-alarm normalcy, is this: The choices people make in the face of anxiety always determine whether the world they leave behind looks more utopian than dystopian.

"Therefore," Wollheim concluded, be it moved that this, the Third Eastern Science Fiction Convention, shall resolve that science fiction should by nature stand for all forces working for a more Utopian existence, the application of science to human happiness, and a saner outlook on life.

The change in aesthetic, from used-future to something more utopian, is Lucas avoiding a common prequel/sequel trap: Rather than just safely echo the originals, something which greatest-hits package The Force Awakens is guilty of, with The Phantom Menace he for better and worse forges a different path.

The drag alter ego of artist, activist, and recent Queer|Art Prize winner Terence Smith, Blakk was the first Black drag queen to run for national office, and one can only imagine what a different (perhaps more utopian) world we'd be living in now if she had "lick[ed] Bush" in '92.

The best thing about Never Built New York is that it's organized geographically, not chronologically, which means it's easy to see which pockets of the city have been a sticking point for decades or even centuries — the spots different urban planners and architects have returned to over and over, looking for a more utopian way for it to exist.

Even setting aside Black America's more utopian vision and completely black creative team, as opposed to Confederate's more pessimistic vision and Game of Thrones ties, HBO almost certainly wanted to get out ahead of the similar project (which has been in development for over a year, as per Deadline and Packer) in order to avoid looking like it was copying Amazon's move.

Ms. Hershman Leeson, who is at once warm and enigmatic in person, has from her earliest days held a sharp critical light to technological and scientific developments, exploring the possibilities of their abuse oby the powerful as much as for their more utopian promise — and always grappling with their relationship to our identities, often from a very personal point of view.

However, The Indestructible Man depicts a dystopian future in contrast to the more utopian style of Anderson's earlier work.

215 (digitized by the Babeș-Bolyai University Transsylvanica Online Library) He only returned in March 1871, having left the newspaper in Carada's care. The conflict at home was exacerbated by the Strousberg Affair, revealing a direct Prussian involvement in the Romanian Railways project. The situation was rendered explosive by the mixture of republicanism, Francophilia and anti-German sentiment, intertwined with Dimitrie Brătianu's more utopian program: a Mazzinian world government.

Perplex City is a massive fictitious metropolis that has an unknown number of connections to Earth. It has a near-future feel to it, with advanced mobile technology, neuro-enhancing pharmaceuticals and kilometer-high skyscrapers. There is also a slightly more Utopian element to city life than we commonly find on Earth. The most important characteristic of the city's culture is the importance they place on puzzles and other mental pursuits.

These consist mostly of a variety of apocalyptic settings, ranging from Palladium's After the Bomb to robot massacres inspired by stories of artificial intelligences run amok, and a scant few more utopian settings. There were no guidelines for what would happen if one travelled so far down successive twists as to cross into another coil; however, twists were so comparatively small that it is mechanically discouraged to travel by such means. It is easier to simply jump directly to the desired coil.

Deuteronomy 19:8 indicates a certain fluidity of the borders of the promised land when it refers to the possibility that God would "enlarge your borders." This expansion of territory means that Israel would receive "all the land he promised to give to your fathers", which implies that the settlement actually fell short of what was promised. According to Jacob Milgrom, Deuteronomy refers to a more utopian map of the promised land, whose eastern border is the wilderness rather than the Jordan.Jacob Milgrom, Numbers (JPS Torah Commentary; Philadelphia: JPS, 1990), 502.

Covers of the Mars trilogy The Mars trilogy is a series of science fiction novels by Kim Stanley Robinson that chronicles the settlement and terraforming of the planet Mars through the personal and detailed viewpoints of a wide variety of characters spanning almost two centuries. Ultimately more utopian than dystopian, the story focuses on egalitarian, sociological, and scientific advances made on Mars, while Earth suffers from overpopulation and ecological disaster. The three novels are Red Mars (1992), Green Mars (1993), and Blue Mars (1996). The Martians (1999) is a collection of short stories set in the same fictional universe.

On the future of Communism, Wells wrote on Aug. 9, 1924, that "there will probably be a big movement toward Communism in the industrial centres of India and China and Japan. But in Europe I think that the Communist drive has passed its maximum and that the popular mind is moving onward to a more constructive and hopeful type of Socialism. Just as art in a phase of extreme sterility escaped by going back behind Raphael and starting afresh from the Pre-Raphaelite phase, so I think Socialism will soon be getting behind the unfortunate misdirection of Marx and Engels to become once more Utopian and fruitful."H.

When she was first introduced, Ozma was the monarch specifically of the Emerald City, but in the description of Ozma of Oz, Oz is presented as a federal state, rather like the German Empire, in monarchies rather than republics: having an overall ruler in Ozma, and individual kings and queens of smaller portions.Riley, pp. 139–40. The society grew steadily more utopian, in that its peace and prosperity were organized, but from the first book, it was a stupendously wealthy country, in contrast to Kansas's crop failures, droughts, and mortgages—just as it also is colorful to contrast with Kansas's gray.Brian Attebery, The Fantasy Tradition in American Literature, Bloomington, IN, Indiana University Press, 1980; p. 85. .

Tithi Bhattacharya, another key signatory of the feminism for the 99% manifesto, has expanded on social reproduction theory within the context of gender, providing a marxist analysis of gender disparate divisions of labor as an integral part of the capitalist mode of production. Specifically, Bhattacharya suggests that the unpaid acts of childbirth, child-rearing, and domestic duties are themselves acts of productive labor, acted within an as exploitative context consistent with marxist labor theory. A key point, is that these acts are disparately the role of women. In stark contrast to Liberal Feminism, feminism for the 99% holds that effective and meaningful change comes from a non-reformist perspective: that revolutionary change necessitates a more utopian vision.

Production designer Alex McDowell kept what was nicknamed the "2054 bible", an 80-page guide created in preproduction which listed all the aspects of the future world: architectural, socio-economic, political, and technological. While the discussions did not change key elements in the film, they were influential in the creation of some of the more utopian aspects, though John Underkoffler, the science and technology advisor for the film, described it as "much grayer and more ambiguous" than what was envisioned in 1999. Underkoffler, who designed most of Anderton's interface after Spielberg told him to make it "like conducting an orchestra", said "it would be hard to identify anything [in the movie] that had no grounding in reality." McDowell teamed up with architect Greg Lynn to work on some of the technical aspects of the production design.

John B. Michel (1917-1969) was a science fiction author (sometimes publishing under the name Hugh Raymond) and editor associated with the Futurians, of which he was one of twelve founding members. He was elected director of the Futurians in 1941. He was widely known for his left-wing, utopian politics, which came to be known in science fiction fandom as "Michelism", or the belief that "science-fiction should by nature stand for all forces working for a more unified world, a more Utopian existence, the application of science to human happiness, and a saner outlook on life". Debates over Michelism and its association with technocracy and communism were an object of controversy in fanzines in the late 1930s, and its influence can be seen in much science fiction of the period, including Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.
