I call this the "Neo-Feudal Technocratic Dark Age". Because of AI, centralized digital finance, panopticon surveillance, trans-humanism, graphene oxide tech, vaccine tech, and drone technology, it could be extended indefinitely without effective recourse by mere mortals. Aside from small pockets of resistance, the only way we don't all become slaves is if the potential slavemasters decide not to use their immense power. Think of a cross between 1984 and Hunger Games, with a bit of Brave New World sprinkled in.

I remember articles in the 70’s saying our “empire” was falling due to decadence.
