Reminds me of the premises of "The Matrix". The Matrix was originally designed as a utopia. It didn't work out, so they ended up copying the world we are living in today. Because to be fair, the description in the article is not that far from real life, at least for healthy people with enough resources to survive. That is: most of us on HN. And in fact even the poor and sick can often be unexpectedly happy. Maybe we are simply very well adapted to our world.
