       #Literary dystopias are entertaining but destructive. They have crowded positive visions of the future out of the narrative and out of our minds. We might not manifest every future we imagine, but we can't create a #future without imagining it. Mass visualizations like 1984, The Handmaid's Tale, Blade Runner, The Matrix, or even Avatar have hurt social progress. We need visualizations of what we want.What #SpeculativeFiction have you read/seen that offers #hope for the future?

       @guacamayan I'm very surprized to not see Ian M. Banks and his Culture series mentioned yet. While no (I think?) books focus on it, the titular civilization is a utopia and it is always at least a secondary character.
