      I mean you could argue an end goal is every person having the effective wealth of a billionaire in terms of being able to have what they need right when they need it and being able to enrich their lives without worry for losing money that might be needed for an emergency later, but that specific stretch point is so far into a post scarcity future it is only a slight exaggeration to say it’s literally the “Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism” meme but as an actual civilization.

          Isn’t the Federation only partly automated? I think you’re looking for the Culture.
