No, this setting is ridiculously Utopian.

As I said once, this is what happens when people read the [Mary Suetopia](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySuetopia) and [Sugar Bowl](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SugarBowl) pages on TV Tropes, and then say to themselves, _“This is right, this is true, this is beautiful. This is how the universe ought to work.”_ Then set out to, with hard work and rational thinking, make it so – at least locally, with global ambitions.

Why? Because I’ve read too many bloody depressing books in which People are Terrible and Everything Sucks More In The Future. I wanted to write something where the forces of progress, liberty, harmony, and awesome people being awesome are, if not victorious, very much in the ascendant.
