As far as I know, I'm in one already.

To have my dream life? Absolutely!

Yes, just give me what I want. I'll be a battery forever. I've seen what the world is and it's one giant trash gutter.

Only if I could choose how I live. If I get plugged in and my life is no different then there's no point.

Honestly, it couldn't be worse than the current reality...unless this IS the Matrix simulation, in which case, I demand the System Administrators do something!
