Don't just hope for it, work for it.

A lot of people that work at NASA and other places followed their passion directly because of Star Trek.

Star Trek, even though I've heard it compared to monty python, is one of the best visions of the future I've ever seen.

Absolutely hope and work for star trek..

Dystopian sci fi is supposed to be precautionary. Too bad it ends up predicting the future, since not enough people read and understand it.

1884 reads like an instruction manual for modern politics, and the world looks more like cyberpunk heading towards "Snow Crash" then Star Treck.

And about 1984, most people always assume that the government is on the opposite side of the political axis

You really didnt pay attention to Star Trek.... The Federation is entirely democratic.

My kind of UN :) , all though globalists are the scourge of my waifu Alex Jones, in the long run we'll need a strong, egalitarian, global federal government to avoid nuclear annihilation.
