What's your favorite version of the future...

Literature and Cinema have provided countless projections. What's your fav?

Do you like the bright and cheery utopias, or the dreary, post-apocalyptic watselands?

Minority Report, minus the omnipotent big brother retina scanners. And the tracked car thingies that go up the sides of buildings.

Dune's future is also quite cool

My favorite version is the one where I am the only male in the world full of females and I am treated as a sex slave. And, being the only male left in a female world, they need me for procreation

I liked all the shit we were supposed to have by the "millenium" that we never got, such as flying cars.

There was a movie about that. "Last man on planet Earth" Um...not quite how you looked upon it. WWIII broke out...95% of the men dies and all the women became lesbians except a few but any men found alive were killed.

I never saw that movie, thats MY personal wish of the future, is to be the last man on earth and be used by all the women.

In the perfect future,morals will have been totally replaced by hedonism.There will be a multi-national brothel chain called McFuck,or something similar,with 2 for 1 deals on Tuesdays and gourmet establshments where the buns are tastier and the meat is sweeter...

I'll have a flying car if there's a 'Cherry2000' in the passenger seat.
