“ What will happen to democracy in a world where 100% of the population are 27/7 consumers?”

Not if it's ends up a literal utopia where robots do all the work and all humans share equally in the benefits, and get to live their lives with a purpose other than toiling for N hours a week to earn M survival tokens, which is what we have today. Good luck coming up with the political will to actually implement that utopia, though.
