* ''WesternAnimation/Superbook2011'': In the modern world where the kids live, technology is so advanced that robots like Gizmo and inventions like rocket-boots don't cause anyone to bat an eye and [[CasualInterplanetaryTravel space exploration is commonplace enough]] for an astronaut training day-camp to be a casual affair, but the setting is otherwise indistinguishable from the real world. The exact year is conflictingly dated by the show to be anywhere from the 22nd century to the 30th century [[WhereTheHellIsSpringfield depending on the episode]].

When the 1990s came around, the US economy recovered while the Japanese economy tanked; the end of the UsefulNotes/ColdWar and subsequent collapse of many authoritarian communist regimes drastically changed the political picture of both the present and the future. Instead of criminal anarchy or corporate governance, there was a lot more focus on how technology (particularly the internet) has come to permeate everyday life and challenge long-held conceptions of the individual and society as a whole, leading to {{Techno Dystopia}}s and {{Robot War}}s. With the TurnOfTheMillennium and TheNewTens, the woes of the future became [[{{Dystopia}} straw (invariably right-wing) dystopias]], [[ForeverWar endless American interventionism]] and [[GlobalWarming climate change run amok]].
