If you just list off random things every period in history can be a dystopia

I think Billy Joel might have just felt a disturbance in the force...

You better own the robots or the land. It’s going to be bad news bears for people who don’t own either.

Or plan on “borrowing” the plans and software for the robots. The story of Robin Hood never goes out of style.

I propose Keanu Reeves plays the protagonist in the film adaption, a spiritual successor of Johnny Mnemonic.

Rad quote. BUT! Why is land going to be valuable? Robots will not use much land. People will lose salary over time as their skills are automated - which will lead to lower land prices.

> Why is land going to be valuable?

People need to live somewhere.

The reason that cities exist is because people like to be around (certain) other people.

Since teleportation isn't a thing, people need to live within a certain distance of each other in order to have an in person relationship.

This isn't just about work, even in a "post scarcity" society, people will still want to interact with other people, face to face.

Therefore land will always be valuable.

Labor is not zero-sum. This is a myth promoted by the upper class to scare workers away from unionizing.
