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.
Why is aliens gifting people in less technologically advanced societies with like immortality drugs and replicators a bad thing? Is it that they worked to influence other societies? Because they're literal communists and in the books I've read they're generally just pushing societies toward socialism and away from the worst excesses of capitalism.
