Imagine freezing yourself thinking the future is going to be awesome only for you to regain consciousness inside of a mobile game, and not a good one. Stuck as a low level unable to get ahead because you literally can't buy microtransactions, the only pleasure you get is viewing a blurred softcore porn you can barely make out on the cover of the gacha pack in the item store. Knowing you'll never be able to afford one but fantasizing that one day it just might go on a 99% off sale allowing you to finally see what's inside. Your day is nothing but grinding to afford the virtual rent which if you fail to pay, you will be deleted forever. Welcome to the future. Capitalism won.

Forget all of that, I just thought of an even worse post-mortem dystopia: Becoming an NFT.
I just pictured the ending of Superman 2 where the bad guys are stuck in a 2D frame hurtling through space.
John Candy can testify, but only if you tip him first
“Welcome to the future. Do you wish to continue?”
"No."
"The response 'No.' is not valid response. The valid responses are 'no' and 'yes' only. Do you understand?"
"yes"
"Thank you for consenting to the release of your autonomy, your endless life in the metaverse awaits you!"
