TODO: Research The Three Types of Future Visions
For Theme 1: What The Future Holds, we need to do some research into the three types of future visions: Utopian, Incremental, and Dystopian. I’d like you to do the following to complete your research:
- Give your own written definition for each type of vision.
- Think of your favorite media: books, games, movies, etc. Write a list of these in a reply to this thread and categorize them as U/I/D. Your list MUST contain at least 10 items.
- Pick one example for each type of vision from your list and locate some description of the world it presents. For example: a video review or trailer that explains or shows what that future is like, a book description that describes the world of a novel, etc. If you can’t find one for your favorite, make one yourself. Post your results to this thread.

Utopian: A world where everything is perfect, life is good for everyone, and there aren’t any major problems that can’t be solved. (Really hard to find Utopian fiction, because a good story needs tension and tension is hard if there aren’t any problems)
Incremental: A world a lot like ours, there are a lot of problems and we need to solve them, but they can be solved.
Stormlight Archive
The Stormlight Archive is a perfect example of an incremental world, it has the progression and it takes place during a worldwide crisis, but the reason it’s incremental is because humanity has never been as well equipped to deal with it as they are now. The last time they had to deal with the apocalypse they fought with sticks and stones, now they fight with steel and shards, the problems are solvable, the war can be won, and there is still a chance that they could lose, but they could also win.
Titan Fall
Wheel of Time
Murderbot
Arch of a Scythe
John Flanagan’s World
Dystopian: A world where everything is miserable and everyone is cruel either because they want to be, or because they have no choice. All the problems are overwhelming and require outside help to fix.
Star Wars
Halo
War frame
Warframe is a good example because everyone is miserable and trying to kill each other, the grineer are cloned and then sent to die, the corpus are greed incarnated, the infested are horrible, and to top it all off you play as a space ninja whole like nothing more than to kill hundreds of grineer in a single mission. It’s a very good dystopia.
