Jonah its hard to decide a book to recommend you since no one knows your ideal world

Mati Roy I thought Goodreads would ask my Goodreads friends and not everyone.

Basically, the most important point of my ideal world is that everyone could live for as long as they wanted to if they metawanted to live for as long as they want to. They could also become more and more intelligent if they wanted to, but they would become *gradually* and *equally* more intelligent. They could play a lot of games if they wanted too (like going in a simulation and playing a caveman for 30 years). They would learn more about the universe and probably know all the laws of physics at some point. They could also keep all the memory they wanted to.

I would prefer to have sci-fi fictions in the sense that these worlds should seem to be physically possible giving our current knowledge.

I would like to have fantasy fictions only if the Utopia is very close to my ideal world

Thank you!

Jonah it sounds like a great idea ive been looking for about an hour to your request but most utopia novels are an ideal society with something alike youre request but they usually have a twist with the world being corrupt and that he goverments hiding something from us

Mati Roy Thanks for having looked!

Exactly. I suppose that most people would find the story boring if it was simply an utopia without any errors in it, and therefore no major conflicts. It's more difficult to write a compelling story in a true utopia (and I think that's why most people think the future will look like a dystopia: because that's what most stories are telling us). But I still hope to find such stories. And I might try to write one at some point. I wonder how many readers could possibly be interested by that.
