Please. People from your world have been fighting one another to get into places like this since they began. This isn’t dystopia, it’s a dream. You’re not scared by an anti-privacy corporatocracy. You’ve been living in one for years, and there was no recreation area in it. A more Cautious Recommend is America (Jennifer Government, Max Barry) which has probably already corporate-colonised your country in its world. This world isn’t an easy one, but you’re already used to government as distraction, prepaid medical services, private takeovers of public utilities and oligarchs running riot. At least you’ll have legal drugs. You’ll get by.
