All fiction has a bias towards things going wrong. Need some kind of conflict.
(Reality also has a bias towards things going wrong, but if Fun Theory is correct, then unlike with fiction, we can change that condition without reducing the demand for reality.)
Science fiction has a stronger bias towards things going wrong on a grand scale than most fiction does.
Otherwise, the advanced technology would just make everything great. They need extra-conflict to counter-out.
