I think the closest we might would be a mixed economy utopia, where capitalism co-exists with things like workers rights and whatnot. Its probably difficult to write a believeable capalist utopia because it requires that the people at the top are all saints.

Although, with the advances in AI, maybe someone could write a story about some megacorp AI meeting everybody's needs. It might be an interesting writing experiment.

You mean like iRobot?

Tbh I haven't read it. I instead saw the will smith movie that has almost nothing to do with the book.

I was actually talking about the movie! Featuring an AI that comes up with a plan for "meeting everybody's needs." ;)
