Challenge for sci-fi writers: help us imagine a postcapitalist future we could live in. Build us a world with economics that are not just "inequality turned totalitarian" (Hunger Games), "Collapse" (Mad Max) or "hand-wave" (Star Trek)!

@nindokag DS9 tried getting away from the "replicators solve all ills!" utopianism of TNG, and dealt with the cracks in the facade while still keeping it optimistic.

@checkfox Awwww yeahhh I LOVE Deep Space Nine. My favorite star trek by far. I've been rewatching it and it's actually even better than I remembered. I was a teenager when it played for the first time so a lot of the themes went over my head. Watching it as an adult, the moral ambiguity and compromises and living-with-the-results-of-your-imperfect-choices resonate much more.
