technological utopia
Perfect automated society
A technological utopia is an imagined society where advanced technology has solved humanity's fundamental problems—scarcity, disease, conflict, labor.
The concept appears in science fiction and futurist speculation, sometimes earnestly, sometimes as a setup for dystopian critique: The brochure promised a technological utopia, but the robots had other plans.
Critics note that one era's technological utopia often becomes the next era's cautionary tale.
