Don't worry, we're heading that way. In 20 years, we'll all be serf-wards of the amazon-google-industrial complex, living of off bezo's benevolence, eating our insects in our shipping container boxes. Nobody has or wants for money- we order allowed goods using cryptographically verified credits distributed by the federal reserve indirectly via stimulus checks to amazon.
The government is indistinguishable from the 10 biggest corporations, as it should be; and all the people need to live and distract themselves to death is provided by heavily automated labour and transport. A few people actually dollarCoins, but you've never seen one. Cash and unregulated cryptocurrencies are illegal, of course, as they aided and abetted terrorists, criminals, pedophiles, the alt-right, and possible alternatives to the powers that be.
Entering your shared containerpartment, you blink away the afterimages from your google glasses as you move to sit down in front of your itechscreen ('smart' was deemed an iq-slur last year, prompting some rebranding.) Your roommate doesn't ask you how the anti-trans-racism protest went; you've never talked to him.
The time between removing your glass and hooking in to the facetube feed is an unpleasant opportunity for your mind to reflect, as you gaze out at the decaying brickwork in the distance before closing the hatch to your cell.
You are free.
