I think, the Book, The Time Machine by H.G Wells is perhaps the most prophetic and cutting insight into this question of futuristic societies.
The spoiled, pampered upper class of American civilization have become the Eloi of The Time Machine, the race of Morlochs feed upon them at will and none of them possess any noble characteristics, they are all completely hedonistic and selfish, they feel no empathy or compassion, nor do they even pretend to feel it anymore, because technology has made it unrequired for survival.
The remake of the movie, Time Machine, is not as good or does not follow the original story as closely.
But even H.G wells could not have forseen, the evolution of this.
This is something even more pathetic than the Eloi, creatures so absurd they no longer even take pleasure in sensual pleasures, so depleted of the sense of well being and sanity, only madness, no pleasure, just madness and the effort to cope with the madness is all that will remain of their psyche. No pleasure.
