There's a difference between alienation and separation due to various circumstances. Alienation involves othering and a subsequent segregation. Take how technology, as opposed to being utilized as a means of improving the quality of life of everyone, is seen as a luxury item for those that can pay for it, making the absence of it a marker of being low class. Further, those who thrive without technology are often portrayed as being alien in some way, having qualities that "normal" people don't have to the point that people aren't capable of seeing themselves as having the ability to thrive without tech. This is intentional as tech became another way for higher powers to oppress people. So alienation is never good, it's oppression.
