I think it's important to say that it goes deeper than not being able to imagine idealistic, utopian, or abundant futures. Fisher's point was that we aren't able to imagine any future at all any more. And I think that actually involves Star Trek, which with its sort of 'space replicator communism' and adventurism is in itself not really forward looking, it's just optimistic, and entirely a product of its own time, namely 60s and 70s 'golden age' sci-fi.
