In the absence of choice, no utopia can exist. In the absence of full, timely and accurate information, no choice can exist. Actually, the availability of choice is so crucial that even when it is prevented by nature itself and not by the designs of more or less sinister or monomaniac people there can be no Utopia. In H.G. Wells book The Time Machine , the hero wanders off to the third millennium only to come across a peaceful Utopia. Its members are immortal, don t have to work, or think in order to survive.
Sophisticated machines take care of all their needs.
No one forbids them to make choices. There simply is no need to make them. So the Utopia is fake and indeed ends badly. Finally, the Truman Show encapsulates the most virulent attack on capitalism in a long time. Greedy, thoughtless money machines in the form of billionaire tycoon-producers exploit Truman s life shamelessly and remorselessly in the ugliest display of human vices possible.
