This future is dystopian (and likely). Sure, there might be a few libertarian or communitarian utopias out there, or maybe even a few safe haven colonies where persecuted groups or sects can live without fear of persecution.

But there will also be colonies that are absolute hell for their inhabitants: institutionalized chattel slavery, legalized pedophilia, animal torture, all manner of non-consensual sexual deviancy.

Just imagine if guys like Jeffrey Epstein could scurry off to their own solar system and build an entire society based on their wants and desires, far from the reach of international justice.
