Imagine a society free of aggressive and predatory crime. It's possible with the technology we have today. What are we waiting for?
The concern is generally what else you give up in order to remove the crime.
Before we give the government the tools to monitor and control the populace, we need to make sure the populace has the tools to monitor and control the government. (I originally wrote "any organization", but any organization with such compulsory power becomes the de facto government...)
A recent sci-fi with a positive view of hyper-tech civilization is "The Culture" (Iain Banks). However, the interesting stories there all occur on the borders, with the interaction of the Culture with non-Culture civilizations. "Player of Games" is a good starting point.
And this is what tech can solve. We could be "ruled" by adaptive algorithms we collectively vote on. If a better algo is discovered it can be voted up and eventually replace another.
Many refer to society as a machine, what would happen if we really treated it like one?
The problem is, they're already there, and local community initiatives are not. The hard thing is the road from here to there. You can't just suddenly remove them and hope things will go all right.
As for collective planning, it's getting harder to sell these days; it's expected of every country to be some kind of democracy.
Do we really need or want central planning like we have now? With tech we could solve many of our problems, instead we sit here calling them "pain points".
