Flawed utopia in which an apparently eutopian New York City (no ads, no franchises, cheap and available housing, high minimum wage) is still controlled by the same rich people as before. There is one large corporation, THE MEDIA HUB. The court system takes lifestyle into account and the rich are presumed innocent and the poor presumed guilty.
