Post apocyliptic stories are popular with the masses. We have been predicting our own demise since the beginning of man. Happy stories about the future just wouldn't be popular at all. What if someone came back and said "the 2035 is SO much better then your time is!"? We'd all be bored in about a half second.

"Just as a man who has fallen into a heap of filth ought to seek the great pond of water covered with lotuses, which is near by: even so seek thou for the great deathless lake of Nirvana to wash off the defilement of wrong. If the lake is not sought, it is not the fault of the lake."
