I can't tell if you're being coy or what. You describe the exact world we're living in today then ask if it's too different from today's world for people to relate to? Seriously? My fear is that as fiction it might be rejected as being too on the nose.
But you're a great writing team so I say go for it. As for the ending, the process of reaching it should present one not knowable from the start -- pretty much like now.
