  Psych! You thought you were gonna get star trek style utopia, while we’ve been descending into fascist dystopia for several decades!?!

      I’m still holding out hope for cyberpunk. At least it comes with skylines and cool back alley markets.

        And cybernetics that won’t play adds in your brain until you have a seizure!. Seriously settings like cyberpunk and shadowrun are starting to look good by the standards of what we’re heading for. (Shadowrun is also old enough that you could actually just barely survive on a part time job without sharing an appartment even in the dystopia)
