Nice to see some optimism for a change. I love dystopian sci fi as much as the next guy, but when I was growing up sci fi was a mix of light and dark. Lately it's just all dark. I have a theory that pessimism and self-loathing is bad for society, for nations, and for humanity in general, and risks becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy at some point. Deep down inside, I still believe a Star Trek-ish future is possible, even if we have to go through a period of Blade Runner-ism before we get there.
BTW, Arthur C. Clark, in his novel 3001, Final Odyssey, predicted a possible future such as the one described here, where fusion power results in nearly limitless energy availability, but causes a new problem: runaway heat pollution from all the waste heat generated by less-than-perfectly-efficient devices using that energy. Somehow humans found a solution to that, too.
