    At this point I think it’s safe to say we’re locked into the dystopian future and the utopic one was but a dream.

      Fun fact:
      The guy that coined the term Utopia, actually meant for it to act as a pun, for “no such place” or to imply it was a false dream.
      Such as, people will use the mirage of a utopia to hide the very real dystopia that this path creates.

      A Eutopia is an actually “good place”. A thing we have not been working towards. George Orwell also called his society a Utopia as it was a false good place.
