One of the most atractive things about the Sci-Fi Genre is the visions of the future that writers create. One of my favorite visions of the furture woiuld have to be the world of Julian May's "The Exile Series". It combines celtic mythology with the evolution of mankind, contact with aliens and our place in the world. Here's what the Wikipedia has to say about it

What are your favorite futures? Which author/screenwriter do you think captures a really cool future? Do you dream of ewoks or have nightmares about Reevers? Are you hoping the doctor will just drop on in? Do you think Huxley and Orwell were right? let me know.

I don't know whether it's my ideal future, but ever since I've read it I've been fascinated by the world described in the book 'Vast' by Linda Nagata.
My ideal future naturally involves me suddenly and inexplicably being crowned Emperor of the Universe.
As long as it doesn't interfere with my "Master of the Universe" plans.....
