Prostopia

Share definition Flag
Prostopia means "near future". It's a portmanteau of the Greek prefix "Pros" (meaning near) and the common suffix "topia" (meaning land), such as in the words utopia or dystopia. Its primary use is in describing hard sci-fi showing an imminent future usually based on plausible technology (not fantasy or magic).
EX MACHINA is a cautionary tale set in a prostopia.
Mike Judge's brilliant film IDIOCRACY was meant to be a satire showing an absurdist far future. But given the mad idiots nowadays, I fear it's prostopian.

The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
