Fair point, but to be honest nearly all modern work is borderline dystopic, regardless of how "important" it's deemed by society. If you think being a programmer in BigOrg, Inc. sucks, then take a summer and work on a construction site or with a landscaping crew. Trust me, you'll yearn for that loud, open-plan office soon enough. Modern society would quickly implode without plumbers, yet actually being a plumber and crawling around under houses in rat shit is not very fun.
