An updated bleak vision of the future can be found in the 2nd episode of the British series "Black Mirror": in a world where the only currency is a Facebook virtual currency you can use to buy extra items for your avatars, skipping commercial costs money and the omnipresent screens/cameras emitting a screeching sound if you close your eyes during the commercials.

"Black Mirror" is a rare type of near-future sci-fi with a strong societal criticism.

The third episode, "Entire History of You", is also great: what will happen a decade from now where technology like Google Glass is omnipresent?
