It's an idea which hasn't been used in science fiction as much as I think it deserves. Offhand, the only example I can think of is "The Flowered Thundermug" by Alfred Bester.

It's within spitting distance of the Revivals in Warren Ellis' Transmetropolitan, although that's a much more cynical take on it.
