I think they're fairly likely. Current society is already fairly dystopian due to advancing technologies we already have, enabled/exacerbated by bad politics. I think unless something drastic happened, that trend is more likely to continue and get worse than it is to somehow fix itself without something major happening.

From a historical perspective most of the developed world is relatively not that dystopian. Conditions aren't as disgusting as they were in the early industrial era nor are they as brutal as they were in the agricultural age. Modern ideologies are pretty awful but that can and likely will change fast.

However I do agree. Drastic technological improvements like fusion or space based solar power and human level AI will increase the quality of life by quite a bit.
