We'll be matrix-style inside an AR pod, unable to move or do anything but watch unskippable ads.
The only thing the matrix got wrong was the plot device of humans as a power source. It's far more realistic for us to be an advertising sink, to maximize how the results of increasing productivity can accrew to as few people at the top as possible.
It ends when the uber eats and amazon drivers, the only people who will be still allowed outside, stage a rebellion.
