Haha. No. Nothing so hopeful. The rich people will get even richer and everyone that used to be working class and middle class die a slow death.

Now I wander what would happen if only rich people would survive and I’m sure somebody has already written an sf book about that

Yeah. That’s (arguably) the background scenario to Asimov’s book “The Naked Sun” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Naked_Sun

Edit: Ooh, Django already gave a cooler link to the same: https://discuss.tchncs.de/comment/10729278

Took me a while to track it down, but I think this is the book to which you were referring.
