Is capitalism 'mutating' into an infotech utopia?
opendemocracy.netI don't think the world is anywhere close to Utopia. We have:
* Starving people
* Wars
* Racial prejudice
* Vastly uneven distribution of healthcare across the globe
Utopia is a horribly misused word - the entire point was that it was an impossible idea - it literally means "nowhere" see Thomas More. He was mocking the idea of a Eutopia, which would literally be a "happy place".
Either way, this all feels far more like dystopia - so I suppose the answer to the question, intended or not, is yes - we are indeed on the road to nowhere.
