    Looking on Netflix, every sci-fi show has the tag "Dystopian". I suspect there is a very big opportunity for a show-runner who can imagine stepping outside that mold.

        The tricky part I think is, how do you create interesting conflict in the sci-fi genre without dystopian elements?

        Apparently Netflix is showing me different shows because when I look at the sci-fi category I don't see a dystopian tag on anything? Umbrella Academy, Away, Supergirl... I guess Altered Carbon is tagged as "dark". But Dark is not!

        Weird. I would very much classify Altered Carbon as Dystopia though!

        Have you read @Ada_Palmer Too Like the Lightning? Also @doctorow has talked a lot before about this exact problem and how we need to imagine our sci-fi and thus our future differently
