Honestly, the setting that most captured my imagination when I was younger was actually Traveller—there was just so much romance to it, and the mind-boggling scale of it was so alluring. Not sure I’d want to live in it, though, since my odds of being an Imperial Knight are like one in a billion.
If I were going to be a nobody (like IRL), then it’s probably got to be Star Trek. I mean, idealistic post-scarcity socialism FTW.
