My ideal future would be living in beautiful rural places with lots of nature around, with fresh air. Good internet. No sitting in traffic. 4 hour workdays. Automate everything you can. Basic income, basic education.
More time with people close to you. Smaller communities. Grow food locally. High speed trains with workspaces into the city. Ecotopia. Solarpunk.
By the way, these are all real things that exist now already. It seems like Singapore might be closest to this vision already.
“The future is already here – it’s just not evenly distributed.”
