In Arthur C Clarke’s Childhood’s End (Amazon), alien Overlords take control of Earth, bringing these utopian qualities to humanity:

• Robot factories automate the production of goods, and industries and commerce have changed forever.
• People no longer need to work, and they do so only for desired luxuries.
• Religion is unnecessary and science is a waste of time.
• Old creative works still exist for enjoyment, but there isn’t any new material.
• A person can travel to the other side of the world in 24 hours, and everyone on Earth can now speak and read English.
• There is surveillance everywhere and crimes have become needless and impossible.
• Despite there always being a television set nearby, a utopia retains a familiar struggle: boredom.

What do you think? Still, want to live in a utopia?
