Here's a list of them to choose from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_universes (though why aren't the Matrix, Stargate or h2g2 universes in there? Needs edits...)

Ugh, I can't decide whether the only ones I'm familiar with (in order of depth) are more utopia than dystopia.
h2g2
Stargate
Matrix
Star Trek
Star Wars
Whoniverse

I like to live in middle earth for some time and bang some elvish princess.

Middle Earth is not a science fiction. lol

I would be perfectly happy living as a Hobbit (with an Elvish wife) in the Shire.  Smiley

A Great Time to Start Something!
Which one would be your worst nightmare, and which one would be a great utopian future for you  Huh



Stargate travel would be great, as long as the destination planets are friendly.
The worst? Maybe being a Borg drone.

Welt Am Draht
Nightmare: Nalle Puh (guess its a bit Sci-Fi thrown in there)


I had to google that and the main result was Winnie the Pooh. This is confusing.

Although most people can agree on what a nightmare is, the definition of utopia varies from person to person. One person's utopia is another's dystopia.

Therefore, I actually cannot think of a single example of a truly utopian universe, although I must say the Star Trek universe comes pretty close. The films Idiocracy and The Matrix portray a couple of my favorite dystopian ones.

The Strugatzki Brothers' Noon Universe, and Ian Banks' Culture areboth great sci-fi utopias.
Star Trek is utopian but rather bland.

For nightmares, no book ever gave me worse than 1984. Though it isn't sci-fi any more Sad. Warhaamer 40k is designed tobenightmare fuel, but too silly for that
