the way you've put it, future is obviously more appealing.

but under different interpretations of the future and fantasy my choice would be different.

The CeeJ put it very nicely.

Use logic. One of those options gives you the possibility of both of those options.

If you choose the future, you get the future and everything that comes with it. You also have the virtual reality in which you can have the fantasy world.
EDIT: and about this, which is safer.

In fantasy theres always some dark wizard, ancient evil or legendary warrior gone bad E.T.C. usually capable of destroying the world or forcing a new reign of darkness and ruling the world. but there are also heroes in fantasy.

In the Future we could have thought up all sorts of dumb ways to kill each other and someone might accidentally press the red button.

perhaps the starter of the thread could give us his idea on the conflicts in the 2 worlds to help us decide.
