Science fiction set in the countryside which depicts the simple, peaceful life in rural areas, often contrasting it with the anxiety of life in technology-filled cities. While bucolic settings are common in fantasy, it's much rarer in science fiction. Stories set in Arcadia or Ghibli Hills are likely to fall under this category. However, the trope refers not merely to an idyllic setting — many sci-fi stories start in such a place, but often see it destroyed or heavily altered early.
