In fact, Elysium is seeming prophetic (minus the ending where the solution is to put a crime lord in charge of the last peaceful place then give everyone magic medicine machines).
All countries and borders are dissolved.
The area formerly known as the US is a gigantic favela style slum where whites are a significant minority.
The elite live in unlimited luxury in an unreachable area.
The commoners are only allowed to live so they can work deadly jobs and get tormented for entertainment.
Drones and droids are used as a force multiplier on behalf of the elites to cement their control.

"Don't breath on me. Cover your mouth."
"Sorry, sir."
