yes, utopian communist society, meaning is a imagined version of what communism could be.
although 0 marxism there, fucking great show to break away from capitalist realism, the very least get us to dream that this shit we living in is the best that we can get
I’m not sure if it should be called Utopian as there are enemies outside and at the same time their conditions are due to materialism, specially the super intelligent AIs controling infrastructure and production on the background and talking to everyone to help them realize their dreams, for example, while also keeping an eye on anyone that tries to disturb the peace, be they external or internal, and so on.
Well it’s utopian on roughly the same level the Federation in Star Trek is. A 100% full utopia with absolutely no problems would make for a pretty boring book or TV series.
What I like more about The Culture is the author really tried to imagine how the social structure of such an advanced society would look like while Star Trek is basically an idealized version of the US but in space.
