Any good sci-fi out there that isn't apocalyptic, post-apocalyptic, or some form of capitalism in the future? You know, some kind of portrayal of a better world is possible? Star Trek is an obvious one but I'm scratching my head trying to think of other examples.
The Disposessed by Le Guin is short and life-alteringly good, even if it kinda cops-out by acknowledging an anarchist society could only happen if thousands of ideologically-consistent anarchists move to the moon, and somehow don't get nuked by their capitalist homeworld...
