I feel like this is the sort of thing William Gibson should write...

There's a pretty good 2008 Mexican scifi film "sleep dealer" that covers this topic more or less

  • >> Sleep Dealer depicts a dystopian future to explore ways in which technology both oppresses and connects migrants.[2] A fortified wall has ended unauthorized Mexico-US immigration, but migrant workers are replaced by robots, remotely controlled by the same class of would-be emigrants.

    Nice! Thanks!

    ... I mean not "nice" as in "all that sounds nice" . I mean "nice" as in "nice dystopia".
