A utopian future is one where the populace is happy, all the time, and their lives are filled with pleasure. The term comes from the book Utopia by Thomas More, a work of fiction, originally in Latin, describing an island which purports to be an ideal society. Like Plato's The Republic, it actually describes a world far from ideal. The term Utopia comes from the Greek terms: οὐ no, and τόπος, place, i.e. "no place" or "place that does not exist")
