I mean, yes, there can be a massive battle between the waking world and the net without it completely devouring almost every aspect of life. There should still be people on the street, there should still be people doing things like going to bars and sports arenas. Are they nearly as popular as they were before the net? No, they aren't, but there is still a somewhat functional society outside of it, even if it is a bit lonely.
One of the major themes of my story was going to be that people WEREN'T as interested in sports anymore and he was going broke, but there is definitely still a market and there is definitely still a place for him in the world. It's just on the brink of extinction now because over 30 years the net has consumed a LOT, just not ALL.
I imagine the society of this world being on the BRINK of falling into the dystopian future you described, not after they have fallen. People struggling to pull people back from the tragedy that is so clearly laid out ahead of them.
