What story elements most clearly suggest Mead is living in a dystopian society in "The Pedestrian"?

When answering this question, it's useful to first define dystopia. What does dystopic literature tend to entail? (With that in mind, it also would be useful to consider the subject of utopia as well, and note the way that dystopias and utopias are often connected with one another.) If utopias reflect our hopes about the future, what we wish to become as a culture and society, dystopias represent our fears and anxieties concerning the same. At the same time, they often serve as a form of social criticism, charting potentially harmful trends in contemporary society forward in time, warning about the potential paths to which these trends might lead. So, with that in mind, how is this theme reflected in Bradbury's work?
One question you might want to consider when thinking about this topic is this: would you like to live in this kind of society? Furthermore, is there a warning embedded within this story, and if so, what precisely is Bradbury warning us about? Consider what actually happens to Mead at the end of story, and think about what his fate says about the society in which he lives. Answering these kinds of questions should hopefully provide insight as to the story's dystopian nature.
