Because I like to think about what possibilities and challenges may like in
the future.
And just to clarify, I don't read Horror.

The "sense of wonder." I like to go "Wow", when I read my sci-fi.

Glory Season. I like the female-male ratio. ;-)
More seriously, I would probably choose the Uplift Universe. In that
universe, humanity is faced with a lot of serious challenges that are
nearly insurmountable. I'd like the chance to face those challenges.
Plus, what a wonderful and exciting universe it is!
My second choice would likely by the universe of Foundation, before the
Gaia thing occurs, since I think of psychohistory as the logical extension
of economics.
>#3B.)Conversely, which one would you NOT want to live in?
Any of the Distopias. Farenheit 451 comes to mind.

Outside of that, I would also say the world of "Heart of the Comet." I'm
not into the merger of humans with little creepy-crawlies.
