So, one, I totally agree with you. I love the (effectively) utopian elements of Star Trek and I love utopian fiction in general and I've found that's only increased in the past 6 months or so.

Two, I think we need way more utopian fiction! I think Star Trek is an interesting example because it's not actually that utopian, largely because it's not really about that - it's not trying to do wild science-fictional flights of fantasy or focusing on details of what such a world might look like, it's a pretty restrained version of what 60s liberals might imagine a society without conflict or material scarcity, and then doing five-act moral teledramas within that construct. And despite that, it's still sort of the standard bearer in popular media for a utopian setting.

It's an optimistic universe. Even Enterprise that takes place almost in our time is like that.

In Picard, it sucks to be a Romulan, but everyone in the Federation seems to have it pretty sweet, even those with personal problems.
