      Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

          Yeah. That’s (arguably) the background scenario to Asimov’s book “The Naked Sun” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

          Edit: Ooh, Django already gave a cooler link to the same: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/10729278

          Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.

          I make no cleans about the stances of this artist; I just saw this strip years ago.
