For I dipped into the future, far as human eye could see,Saw the Vision of the world, and all the wonder that would be." is a poem by John Keats. It is a pessimistic vision of the world in which humans have lost touch with nature and their place in it. In this dark vision, all humans are dependent upon technology for existence. The people no longer live in harmony with nature, instead they have created a violent, industrialized world.
