Idiocracy sadly was the only futuristic story to get it right. Wall-ee probably a pretty safe bet too. At this point, any "blue future" sci-fi writers still out there are disillusioned dreamers.
'Ministry of the future' wasnt bad, by a typically Utopian writer. Parts of it felt plausible.
I haven't read Ministry, but I'm not sure I'd call KSR a utopian. Aurora was some pretty bleak shit. (Great book though)
Nah, idiocracy is weirdly eugenic drivel.
