Is there any entertainment stuff that uses corporate memphis style in a Brave New World kinda setting?

There's a pretty decent game that uses the style in an ironic sort of way: Going Under where you're an intern at a soda company but your job mostly involves going into dungeons and fighting goblins with office equipment

It's not dystopian though, it's more light-hearted, but it does have a very negative view of corporate culture and style. It presents the job as gruelling, meaningless, and run by rich goofballs who are disconnected from the day to day operations. The gameplay is pretty fun and the storyline is cool. It gets into commentary about the nature of work and how passion gets sacrificed for profit.
