In 45 years? I predict the skills you'll need then will include:

foraging, scavenging, hacking, repurposing old junk into shelter and transportation, hydroponics, stealing electricity, small scale farming, digging, ammo reloading, evading AI, creating improvised explosive devices, smuggling, ICE breaking, soldering, welding, firearms maintenance, broadcasting pirate radio and television, etc.

In truth, I'm partly (maybe even mostly?) joking. I'm generally an optimistic in regards to technology.

And yet...

I have my doubts, and some concerns about what the future holds with the way some things are going. A tinge of concern that a cyberpunk dystopia might just be in our future has started to creep in around the edges.

I tend to like the view of AI maximalist. All the post apocalyptic stuff is not great for your mood day to day.

Either that or just know how to enjoy yourself, since our benevolent AI God has got life covered.

You forgot, fire making, water filtration (essential) and fishing (protein, fat, vitamins). How can you do all the stuff without energy? Are you running on sunlight, or do you do nuclear fission inside your body?
