>That sounds dystopian to me already

That's because it is

Think about any dystopian sci-fi. There's always groups that live in the dystopia and groups that don't feel the effects of it. That's the current state of the world. 1% of the population (including basically everyone on this site) live in luxury, while the rest of the 99% of the population toil under increasingly desperate and precarious living standards.

There's no avoiding it anymore, it's unambiguous, the world is a hellscape of our own doing that we could have avoided if not for wanton, rampant anti-social greed.

Think of this quote and it will be clear: "The future is here it's just unevenly distributed"

Where "future" is synonymous with "hope, life, time, joy"
