A '''utopian''' future is one where the populace is happy, all the time, and their lives are filled with pleasure. The term comes from the book ''Utopia'' by [[Thomas More]], a work of fiction, originally in Latin, describing an island which purports to be an ideal society. Like [[Plato]]'s ''[[The Republic]]'', it actually describes a world far from ideal. The term Utopia comes from the Greek terms: οὐ ''no'', and τόπος, ''place,'' i.e. "no place" or "place that does not exist")
