I like this, it fits with my prediction/observation that high tech - especially ai - will dissolve centralized civilization as we know it. We'll probably be left to choose between techno-feudal smart cities w/ digital id (because how else will we know if you're a real human?) and more rustic libertarian small towns/vilages (w/ a few small free cities here and there) powered by self-sustaining high tech (3d-printers, exotic alt-tech, etc.) and irl interpersonal relationships.
In other words, technology will force us to return to tradition, so to speak.

Even the homeless don’t want to live in the pod

They still making yume nikki stuff in 2023

Central bank propaganda. The economy does not "need" someone printing money in order to function.

Guess what Switzerland did in 1973.

There’s three empires:
Central banks
The Vatican
Corporations

The US is a resort that’s needed new paint, new carpets, some new management, maybe a new sign out front, a better security system and many other patches for 50 years. I still go to it out of nostalgia but the place is a dump now.

our society’s economies are in lock step with fossil fuel exploitation

Are you in an fantasy world? There are two fantasies going on:

Industry is not “in lock step with fossil fuel” .. all the big energy companies are making money off climate change. They’ve all pivoted for selling less efficient tech that seems “green” to get more cash. (see the documentary Planet of the Humans which goes into all the petrol needed to keep wind turbines and solar stations running .. they literally cannot operate without hydrocarbons).
that needs to change

Fossil fuel is the single reason we have the world we have today. It’s not going away any time soon. That’s a fantasy .. and if there is no anthropocentric climate change, cutting fuel forces people into poverty and struggle to heat their homes for no damn reason.
