what kind of future are you referring to?
there are 3 main types of future outcomes..
1* the 1984 type of future, in this future the human race is constantly being monitored by cameras, everything you do think and say is being watched by "big brother" everything you buy would buy would be via some sort of credit card. and people would live in constant fear of each other, and being labeled a "terrorist" almost like the Salem witch hunts of the olden days. small scale civil wars are occurring throughout different countries between those who oppose this new order and those who support it, as well as against the state.
2* in this future man has made great leaps in technology with the advancement of a.i machines and humanoid android robots, however even this future is bleak, this human race would be very weak and would have a lot less brain capacity due to the fact of having all these machines doing all our work and chores, eventually there would be no more jobs, almost like a wall-e esq future.
3* this is the future outcome i most believe in, in this not so distant future the worlds oil supply would be extremely low, civil unrest brakes out and people hit the streets, rioting looting, eventually local law enforcement gives up and the military is called in to restore order, when the soldiers themselves give up, all hell breaks loose. some people head for the woods, others stay in the city forming roving gangs of pillagers and rapists, wars break out all over the world eventually ending in some sort of nuclear disaster, think of a mad max type of future, where oil and gasoline are considered the new monetary system
i think we might see a combination of outcome number 3 mixed with a bit of number 2
