By this definition, wouldn't the belief that science will not lead to perfection but we can still look forward to more of what we already have (rather than ruin and destruction) be equally post-utopian?
Not as I see the word used, which appears to involve the sense of not merely less enthusiastic than, but turning away from. You can't make a movement on the basis of "yes, but not as sparkly".
Pity. "It will be kind of like it is now" is an under-utilized prediction.
Dunno, Futurama is pretty much entirely based on that.
