What does an economy that deprecates most of humanity look like? What happens when the economy doesn't demand people?

I do not see a future like Star Trek with its Utopian ideal of every person choosing to follow their dream pursuit. Large parts of society already receive no access to opportunity ensuring a lifetime sentence of poverty. When robots prepare meals, drive cars, pave roads, fix power lines, haul cargo, process paperwork, educate students, harvest crops, and enforce peace you may think you have a uniqueness to prosper. Perhaps, and good luck.
