Small cities heavily guarded behind huge walls to protect them from the unlucky, vast majority. The only time the dwellers get out of their bubble is to get resources. No more climate problems, as these cities are small and selective. Like on average the eCO2 tonnage is very low, but disparity city/rest is 1000x.

Feature wise - a muting of the color palette, specifically of people’s clothes. Doesn’t need to be to grey, just a “reduction in variance” as a vibe

Pursuit of pleasure and escapism at the cost of dealing with reality on its own terms. Pursuit of building the popular at the cost of building the necessary. Pursuit of indiscriminate moral panics at the cost of nuanced concern. Pineapple on pizza.
