Dystopian reality where standard of life is higher now than any other time in history? Where technology is saving more lives and making them better everyday? Where there is greater peace in today's time than any other time before?

Is that what a dystopian reality looks like to you?

I would say yes. Many economies and governments hadn't been deliberately brought down yet.

Yeah and twice as many people starved, had no access to clean water, or basic technology like a computer which exponentially accelerates education of third world countries. The Soviet Union still existed where the threat of nuclear war was far more real than today. China was a far more oppressive regime, and in North Korea millions died from a famine.

But you know atleast the Sadam Iraqi government was still in existence.
