Do we learn more from utopian or dystopian science fiction?

Utopian but suspect dystopian more represented in pop culture.
I've been curious how much of the pop culture representation is simply due to dystopian fiction being easier to write. Many of the tenets of fiction fall out naturally from trying to mend what is breaking or broken.

Yes and some of my fav movie plotlines draw heavily on that (zombie outbreak and post apocalyptic ones). Being a critique of our society as it stands. I think other sci fi have an element of dystopia, like Interstellar, but have more hopeful endings.
