Read Super Sad True Love Story by Gary Shteyngart, another dystopian future novel…it describes America after the Currency Collapse, when the only people with access to more than the basics are the ones who own Yuan or Northern Euro-backed currency, when books are no longer published and the masses communicate through videos and emojis.
I’ll have to check that out; the Wiki entry shows that Showtime is developing a series to be produced and directed by Ben Stiller.
