There has to be one, but i think most sci-fi authors are left-leaning so their utopias and dystopias both reflect that.

I think you're, uh, pretty super wrong about sci-fi authors being leftists. Maybe the modern ones, but historically they've been pretty right wing.

You've got a point there... Robert Heinlein's books were so fashy that Verhoeven decided the only way Starship Troopers could be turned into a film was if it was done as satire.
