Only to the extent that this age we live in now might be seen as "utopian" to someone from the 1700s. The "enlightened" that that new utopian age will demand in order to move _their_ society to the next stage will make the present set of "diamonds" look like badly cut cubic-zarconium. Just as it should be.
