Utilitarian Equation

A near future dystopia where cities and every one in them are monitored by the unified computer system. A system that knew everything about peoples lives by following the in CCTV cameras and knowing what was in their fridges. The system then helped people by ordering food for them or medicine if it detected an illness in their waste and kept them safe by recording any crime and informing the police. However outside the main cities in the unmonitored zones people barely scrapped by on hand outs from the opulent city folk.

The government happen upon an idea to make the lives of everyone better but at what cost.

Do the needs of the many truly outweigh the needs of the few?
