The free societies becomes so cooperative and productive that they automate everything, eliminate poverty, abolish labor, achieve biological immortality, eliminate illnesses and death, get off planet, and build an intergalactic civilization. Scarcity is overcome. Nanobots fashion whatever they want on command—just speak and it is done. You want a sandwich, just say so and invisibly small robots will rearrange atoms to bring one into existence out of thin air! Science and technology so advanced that's it is synonymous with magic!
mmmmmm, I'm not sure about that, have you read Animal Farm?
