This is a hyper-realistic "photograph" of 2058 New York City Utopia.
People are happier than they have ever been before in history. After returning home from a long day at work one can log in and do anything they please. Hiking the Appalachian trail, jogging the mountains of Hawaii, designing in virtual reality, visiting with family who live thousands of miles away. The world is a different place now. They can achieve more in one day than people throughout history achieved in a month.
Crime is at an all-time low, work ethics have increased dramatically, a consumerist economy is perishing in the real world, yet flourishing in the virtual, war in a physical sense has become almost obsolete and unnecessary.
