Nope. Let me explain :)

Consuming (i.e., food, clothing,fuel,etc.) is the "energy" that drives The Matrix. Humans are mere consumers. That's how they're refered to. That's how we refer to ourselves.

The fact that we're choosing ro over-consume to the point of killing ourselves and killing to planet is about as dystopian as it gets.

Sadly VR goggles might be our only hope.

Not to get too off topic but I want to add this. What was one of the first things POTUS GWB told the USA public after 9.11?

"Keeping shopping."

And no one even notice. So perhaps there's some 1984 going on as well?

Nah, they're releasing money, not energy.

Money is energy in said current Matrix :)
